Somewhat burdensome trick (depending on how many platforms you have):
1) raise the terrain as you did
2) generate the Ai grid
3) before releasing, flatten the terrain again but don't regenerate the Ai grid
4) profit!

It's probably best to keep a copy of the level with the raised terrain before releasing so you don't have to reraise it again afterwards.
