How do I completely smooth out the ramps for water?

[ClaptonBlues]

Even on none-custom maps, ramps are completely smoothed out that makes shallow water appear like ponds. Can someone tell me, either than making a square pond, how to smooth out water ramps without revealing the cliffs?

Use the ramp tool.

You start by making the map completely under water. Then you raise the ground and smooth it out so you can't see it has ever been under water. Then you can simply lower the terrain and get water where ever you want.

Or you can do this. It's much faster, and you will still be able to lower the ground as much as you want without having water appear when not wanted.

1. Un-tick "Enforce Water Height Limits" in the World Editor under "Advanced" on the bar at the top of the window.
2. Use the deep water tool where you wish to make your pond, but in a slightly larger scale.
3. Return it to normal with the Increase Two tool, not Undo.
4. Use the lower tool to create the effect you're looking for.

All of these steps are required for the effect.
