I'm not sure what you were trying to say here. The height field macros 
don't "work with any object"...there are separate macros specifically 
written for square, spherical, and cylindrical height fields. As for the 
"external height field", you can use an image to generate a height field 
using these macros like you would with the built-in height field 
primitive, and you can use the mesh file generated by a previous call of 
the macros, but that's it.

The documentation should probably at least mention this scene...
