Making a "hight field" with FT3

in Mapping with ProFantasy's Software
I would know if it's possible to make (in some way) a height field, i mean a 3d map with height, using FT3.
How could I do it? I would like to use it in a my private software is it possible?
Is it possible (in someway) to export the map in a format that allow me to read for each pixel the altitude?
Can you suggest a method?

    Try File>>Save As with a type of 16-bit Grayscale PNG Height Files to save the current view as a grayscale height-coded image. Raw Binary file might also work for you. The bump map shader will shade the surface in the manner of an 8-bit hight field that can be saved with any of the "Picture Files" types.
