swimming pool elevation

help please,

how do I recess my pool into the ground to give me the correct rendering in 3d view?

Depends how you design your pool and whether you use a model of a pool. Try using a negative level (Add Level, and edit it to the "bottom of the pool", say -220cm).

You can draw your pool as a room with walls on the negative (subterranean) level where the walls protrude above ground to form the edge of the pool.

Thanks

I will try and then let you know the outcome

Pools can be done with much of the same approach as terrain geometry. Posted an example of a pool (in sh3d format) with some extra pool models.

Hope this can be of help.

Noticed the new blog post on how to design a swimming pool, with an example .sh3d file. Thanks, useful guidance to the basic steps of how to create a pool, using textures, curved walls and do model design with the help of SH3D. And a very nice design too.
