Steps

  1. Click Water and choose Pool.
  2. Choose a method:
    • Frame: a rectangular bowl. Click in one corner, then in the opposite one. Works both on the plan and in 3D.
    • Point by point: a bowl of any shape. The editor switches to 3D. Click the corners of the bowl one after another and close the outline by clicking the first point.
  3. The pool will be placed. Click it, and the Pool window opens on the right.

Good to know

  • A side of the bowl is at least 60 cm: a smaller frame is cancelled.
  • Point by point is drawn with the same gesture as a wall in 3D, but the outline must be closed: there is no such thing as an unclosed bowl. The sides must not cross.
  • In 3D the corners of the bowl snap to a 25 cm grid.
