Hi David,

also try this:

intersection{
height_field {tga "your_landscape_file.tga"
	      texture {your_wall_texture}
	      translate your_wall_height*y
	     }
union {
	box{//a box with appropriate dimensions and something higher
	    // than your_wall_height
	    texture {your_wall_texture}
	    }
	height_field {tga "your_landscape_file.tga"
		      texture {your_landscape_texture}
		     }
      }
           }

It works, I just tried it without appropriate teturing and scaling.

Cheers Reinhard
