Re: Pond
The tips&tricks page seems to have disappeared. There was a sample project there that had step-by-step descriptions on how to create a pond/swimmingpool.

It's not that difficult. You already have the hole but you are missing the water.
Stretch a shallow box so it completely covers the opening of the hole. Make all sides except the top invisible and set the water texture from the texture list for the top. Export the object. Edit the mtl file and add a line "d 0.4" at the bottom of the "newmtl top" block.
Save and import. Put the object on the below ground level and elevate it to where you want the top of the water to be. Done.

Setting a value for d closer to 1.0 makes the water less transparent if that is what you need.
