Shallow water possible??

[mikek21]

This may seem like a silly question or topic to start, but can we create shallow pools or ponds? It seems like in the videos I have watched, any water drops off steeply into deep water. In Planco it is hard to manipulate the terrain to create shallow water. If I want to create a small pool in a zebra exhibit for example, I want to make it so it is no deeper than knee deep. No need for zebras, or many other species to have deep water that is over their heads. If I create a hippo or tapir exhibit, I might want to make one end shallow so that they can easily wade in before moving to deeper water. In the videos I have watched all the water seems deeper than necessary with steep banks. It would just be nice to have shallow water with gentle banks.

yea it might help if we had an option to enable grids for terrain, and can set the "snap-to-angle" to align with simple slopes same as paths

I asked this question on the AMA and it was a confirmed YES!

"We have some new terrain tools for you that make this kind of operation easy to do. You can be precise about angle, scale and rotation of the terrain volume brushes. Thank you for your great question."

Awesome! Thanks for asking the question on the AMA. I really want to be able to create shallow ponds and pools in my exhibits. Seems like such a simple thing, but I am really happy about this.
