"We have a winner !!!"

Ha! And I thought I was being oh-so-clever :-)

The great thing about Ron's trace() function is that you only have to
#declare an object, you don't have to instanciate(sp?) it. So I just
redeclared a height_field { pattern ... } object at each loop up the
y-axis and trace() at each x and z position to get the height offset.

I'll put the source in p.t.s-f in case anyone is interested.
