Question:

Why can we not assign a Mesh Feature Definition to a Terrain Model?

Answer:

Meshes are closed elements which includes volume. Mesh symbologies/templates do not have contours, triangles etc... so would not get the terrain displayed correctly. Terrain features are a surface, which cannot have overhangs, and do not have a volume.
