oh wait I see you do use Elevation, well as said, increase the subdivision
problem being here that you want to have 2 readings per pixel, to allow linear 
elevation along one axis, an example would be here
the generation of buildings on a map, but just assigning a rect.

I have written a routine for this, used in Prefab's MeshEdit plugin. But I have 
not yet wrote a class of it for 4.0 or even 3.6.
It would be indeed a very valuable class, especially for game world generations.

but for now, if you give an unsane subdivision, the diff from one reading to 
the other should give you more control on the angle
