Converts a 2D array of values to a 3D height field and applies the height field to a 3D object that appears in a 3D scene.

	Color specifies the color of the object in RGBA format. Color accepts a cluster of numeric values 0 through 1, where 0 represents the absence of the red, green, or blue color and 1 represents a full saturation of the color. The alpha value indicates the transparency of the red, green, and blue colors. Red specifies the red value. The default is 1. Green specifies the green value. The default is 0. Blue specifies the blue value. The default is 0. Alpha specifies the level of opacity of the RGB color when the color is applied to the 3D object. Alpha must be a value between 0 and 1. The default is 1.
	Data is a 2D array of values that represent the height of the surface of the object at evenly spaced intervals.
	Row Interval specifies the distance between the intervals on the x-axis of the object at which the height field Data is taken.
	Column Interval specifies the distance between the intervals on the y-axis of the object at which the height field Data is taken.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	Base Height specifies the actual height value of the surface of the object when the value in the height field is the minimum z value.
	New Height Field Refnum is the reference to the created geometry.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
