<< Is there any way prior to doing a frame by frame render to figure out the *REAL* height of the patch? Any suggestions would be appreciated. >> The only thing you can do is to render the Skinned areas with a wireframe material for a quicker preview. But, if you use B-Spline method with a more dense (more vert's) control lattice, you can achieve a Skinned surface which more closely matches the control lattice, & avoid too sharp transitions.
