    Hi, I have a problem when I load an image for the sky background, it does not display.

     

     

     

    And when I try to place water zones, it doesn’t work either :

     

     

     

     

    Can you help me please, maybe I’m doing something wrong.

     

    Thank you very much.

    Problem solved for the sky image, I hadn’t oriented it in the right place, but I can’t manage the water.

     

    Thank you.

    Hi Madness Fireworks, I’m sorry, the reflective water doesn’t currently work very well with 3D Google Maps.

     

    When using a 2D Google Map, adding water cuts away the map image. Unfortunately, it doesn’t currently work this way for 3D Google Maps models.

     

    To get the water to appear when using a 3D map, you’ll need to lower the model height using the ‘3D map height offset’ setting in the Google Maps dialog. However, when you do this, you will find that water will be shown on all the 3D map surfaces that are below the ground level. There’s a chance you may be able to get it to look good if the body of water in your show location is lower than the other terrain. If not, you may end up with water being shown on land where you don’t want it. You can give it a try, just know that the water doesn’t work well with 3D Google Maps at the moment.
