Adding Water

[falcont]

Hi I am back again because this is the best place for a POLITE REPLY and I thank you for it.

OK my question I have built a swimming pool in my private residence, but I don't have the foggiest idea how to fill it. Could someone please point me to a tuts or info on how to. I have read through a fair few tuts over the last couple of hours but found nothing Thankyou Falcont

Well if the pool is below the floor level you can just add water to the cell, just right click>Edit on your interior cell name (cell view window) and check the "Has Water" check box. You'll have to adjust the numbers in the Has Water box to set the water height.

If your pool is above the floor level in your house you'll have to check the Has Water box, but you'll need to use a static water plane resource (TES Nexus). That is less ideal because you can actually swim in a static water plane.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Darkrider I have already done that and the water height is -2147483648 and no water showing asyet

do I increase the number, say like the 2 at the front to 4. And also will it show up in the TCS Thanks

Water height will be relative to where your interior piece is sitting in the cell. Double click on your interior piece and see what the z number (left hand column) is. Try setting your water height to that number to start with.

2 Q Answered in 1 Always wonderd what that purple color was under buildings, and the number must go down

Any way I can hear the water so I must be near. Should have used my devining rod Ha Anyway thanks agaqin

Yep just increment that number by units of 100-1000 either positive or negative until you see the purple in your pool but below the floor level, good luck.

Do these directions differ if your attempting to fill something with water on the exterior???

If they do can you give me some incite on how to accomplish this?

Nope, its pretty much the same. But remember, water height is for the 'cell', not the entire landmass. You can press 'B' to get a yellow grid on the land so you know where the cell boundries are.

thanks WillieSea!! Now this didn't work too well for me I think its were I actually want the water thats causing the problem. Back the drawing board!!!
