Heightfield Adjust Vertical

When I use a Heightfield Adjust Vertical Operator I can connect that to the input node of a Heightfield load (or a Heightfield generate) or I can choose to connect it to a Heightfield shader (Blend by heightfield); then I adjust the higher and lower settings in the heightfield adjust vertical, but nothing happens.
No (vertical) adjustments in the Heightfield at all.
I want to use heightfields made in World Machine, but they all end up in, but not on the surface of the planet. I read some stuff about this subject in the Planetside Forums, but I still can't get it to work properly. What am I doing wrong? ???

I would recommend using the Node List wherever possible as it will automatically hook up connections properly and then you can learn from this behaviour what the correct setup is. In this case click on your Heightfield node in the Terrain layout node list, then use Add Operator below and add Heightfield Adjust Vertical. You will see it adds it *after* your Heightfield Load or Generate node, but before the Heightfield Shader node itself. Adjusting the settings of the Adjust Vertical should then have the expected result.

Yes, that works! What I did wrong: forgot to click the Heightfield Node.
Just right clicked in the terrain node list and picked a heightfield adjust vertical and tried to hook that to the Heightfield load.
Thanks!
