you can use ssgHOT function for this purpose.
There is a nice example for ssgHOT in example
programs.
( link is "Example programs and Documentation for
PLIB-1.3.1 or later." in plib home page )
I think it was majik_demo in ssg directory.

download it and search for string "ssgHOT". I copied
and pasted those lines in my program and they worked
well :) ( i used a 3ds file as terrain as you intend )

NOTE : check traversal masks in your scene graph.I
think SSGTRAV_HOT is on by default and this my create
performence problems if you do not disable it for
non-terrain geometry.
