Adding a Fountain

Realtime Landscaping Pro
includes a many different styles of fountains that can be added to your
landscape designs. Some fountains are intended for use on the ground, while
other fountains are designed to be placed in ponds. During Realtime Walkthroughs
your fountains will spray or gush water realistically.
To add a fountain:
1.
Click the Add Fountain button found near the top of the screen
under the Water Features tab.
2.
Click the picture of the default fountain that appears to the right of the
screen, and then select the fountain you would like to use.
3.
Click on your design where you wish to place the fountain.
In the picture shown below, a bowl fountain is used to
enhance the water garden with a constant flow of water.

Pillar Fountains
Pillar fountains are very peaceful yet prominent water
features that take very little space. A pillar fountain is composed of a simple
rock pillar (often built from fiberglass or plastic), a liner, and a pump with a
filter. Water flows down the side of the rock pillar and re-circulates back to
the top. Some pillar fountains can even be used indoors.
There are several pillar fountains to choose from in Realtime Landscaping Pro. Objects such as Regions, Rock
Borders, and Edging may help to complete your
design.
In the picture below, a pillar fountain is used as the
centerpiece of an elegant driveway design.

Tips:
•
Fountains and waterfalls are similar, but the water flow of a waterfall
moves in a particular direction while the water of a fountain always flows
straight down. For information on waterfalls, see Adding a Waterfall.
•
Landscaping rocks can be added around your fountains; see Adding a Rock for details.
•
Fountains can be scaled and rotated normally. See Scaling Objects and Rotating Objects for more information.
•
Plants can be added around your fountains; see Adding a Plant for details.
•
Fountains are typically part of a water garden design featuring ponds and
streams. See Adding a Stream and Adding a Pond for more information.
• The
materials of your fountains can be customized as needed. For details, see Editing Materials.
