This function will, given a centre point and an eye-level height, generate a set of points at the given height, either at the nearest intersection with the model at that height or at the specified sight distance should no ground intersection occur within that distance.

In order to generate the line-of-sight points, a cross-section is taken every three degrees around the centre point and the intersection between the line of sight and ground model calculated.
