Update Terrain

Importing a "point cloud" of spot heights to update the terrain model (grid and/or triangulation&data).

The point cloud need not have a convex outline. In order to construct an outline for the point cloud numerically, users are required to input a Maximum Point Spacing parameter. This parameter determines the maximum distance between adjacent points in the point cloud.
