    Hi everyone,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Based on your extra remarks, we
    will make up our minds and go on.<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>

        <div class="gmail_extra">There a number of ways of mixing
          polygonal data with height fields, the best way will depend
          upon the requirements/constraints of your application.  <br>

        <div class="gmail_extra"><br>

        <div class="gmail_extra">If you need exactly intersections then
          converting the height fields into a polygon mesh and then
          inserting the vertices and edges from the mesh you want to add
          will be required. This will be slow so something you'll likely
          want to do as a pre-processing stage.  The osgTDS code that
          Don wrote many years back uses this approach.  I'm afraid I
          don't have an insights into osgTDS or where to get it these
          days.</div>
        <div class="gmail_extra"><br>
        </div>
        <div class="gmail_extra">If you don't need exact match then you
          could possible modify the height fields values to match the
          polygonal mesh, you could do this on the CPU as a
          pre-processing step, or render the polygonal mesh to a depth
          texture and then use a vertex shader to read from two
          depth/height field textures to render a single heightfield.</div>
        <div class="gmail_extra"><br>
        </div>
        <div class="gmail_extra">Another approach would be to use a
          constructive solid modelling approach, at least I have hunch
          you could do this somehow but would need to think it through
          fully first.</div>
