So your definition is POV definition and POV definition is sentence witch starts
with "Scene contains ..." , right ?

A point is considered "inside" a height_field if it is "below" it. If
the height_field is not rotated or sheared, all points -y of some part
of the surface are inside it.
POV seems to have a hard time with this fact in this case, it knows the
height field isn't bound to a cubic space and that the difference
surface may occur anywhere, so it considers it to be infinite when
computing the bounding boxes. A better solution might be to use a box
extending very far downward for the CSG bounding computations, or to
limit the height_field object to a cube.

Actually, the interior keyword has nothing to do with whether an object
is considered solid or not. Otherwise, you would have to specify an
interior just to use CSG.

Would I simply use a bounded_by for the heightfield itself rather than on
the difference between it and the box?

I finally gave up. I re-created the object using primitives and avoided the
HF altogether. The object is now finite

Why didn't you clip the object as I suggested? It would have made the
object finite.
Well, do as you wish.

Because clipping didn't work. Clipping the object as you suggested resulted
in the object disappearing.

After I thought about what you suggested I realized I misunderstood what you
meant.
I assumed you meant to replace the bounded_by with a clipped_by. Of course
that removes the entire object.
I didn't try using a clipped_by (as opposed to a difference) on the HF. (I
feel pretty stupid right now....)
However recreating the object via primitives didn't take that long. Don't
know if it would be better memory/speedwise
to use the primtives or the HF but at this point it works so I'll probably
leave it alone.
Thank you for your suggestions.

That only means that you clipped it in the wrong way. I asked you what
did you do, but you didn't answer.
The clipping object (eg. a box) should completely enclose the object to
be clipped. What did you do?
