Cannot Add A Pond

I thought it would be simple to add a pond at one of my newly created scenery
airports - but no. Did the usual polygon outline, then terraformed it to 3,
then lowered the level of it just a wee bit, then added Water material. This
did not work. So I tried adding Pond, also did not work. Not sure if I am
missing something or is the water feature broken in the SDK?

You need 2 polygons. One to make a hole for the pond, and another on top of it
for the pond itself.

@rhumbaflappy is correct, Maybe the team can add some functionality to prevent
adding polygons with multiple features that won’t work when added together (
and updating the docu as well) Another type that requires “exclusive” property
is vegetation iirc Already in the backlog @Boris ?

the documentation with this information, Thank you :slight_smile: Regards, Boris

So I tried your suggestion many
times and ways - still no water. I did a Polygon Hole and terraformed and
lowered a wee bit - see screen shot. Then did a Polygon and checked WATER then
tried POND as well as WATER - see screen
shot.

Then I tried the Material
Editor and chose ASOBO WATER - that only gave me grass.
