Hi,

Are you working with data in a projected coordinate system? Are you x,y and z 
coordinates all in the same units. What is the general nature of the terrain 
you are looking at? Try adjusting the window size to get generalized 
features-- remember that the quantification of terrain is a fractal problem.

Cheers,
Dylan
