    modeling body of water (2017)

    I am trying to model a body of water that is a pond or small man-made lake. I have regraded the topography now I need to fill the void. anyone have a suggestion?

    Why not just use a thick floor (or model in place box) set to the correct elevation? It can just overlap the topo as the water would only show where the elevation works out.

      that could work. right now we are in the master planning stage and we will probably want a site section through the pond. I was hoping to get the pond to follow the contours of the topo that are for the pond as close as possible

        I use a thin Floor not thick, so it shows up as just the water line. Never needed to show anything filling the pond, just the height of the water.

          Lauren Schmidt over at landarchBIM has a good primer on doing it with Dynamo, if you need more than just an approximation as you get with a thin surface layer.
