Adding a Fountain
Realtime Landscaping Pro comes with a large variety of
pre-built fountains that you can add to your landscape designs. Some fountains
are designed for use on the ground, while others are intended for use in ponds.
During a realtime walkthrough, your fountains will come to life with realistic
water and sound effects.
To add a fountain:
1. Click Add
Fountain.
2. Select the desired
fountain by clicking the picture in the property window.
3. Click to add the
fountain.
A Tulip fountain is used in the water feature shown

Pillar Fountains
Do you want a water feature but space is limited? A pillar
fountain may be the answer. They consist of a rock pillar (often made out of
plastic or fiberglass), liner, filter, and pump. The water flows down the side
of the fountain and a pump re-circulates the water back through a hole in the
top. Some can even be used indoors!
Realtime Landscaping Pro provides several pillar fountains
to choose from. You can use the Region, Rock Border, Edging, and other objects to complete your design.
The following is an example fountain with the Region and Edging objects added to
the base.
Tips:
•
Fountains are similar to waterfalls, except water from a waterfall always
flows in a single direction, while water from a fountain always flows straight
down. See Adding a Waterfall for more
information.
• To
add landscaping rocks around your fountain, see Adding
a Rock.
• You
can scale and rotate fountains for more variety. See Scaling Objects and Rotating Objects for more
information.
• To
add plants around your fountains, see Adding a
Plant.
• See
Adding a Pond for information on how to add a
pond, and Adding a Stream for information on how
to add a stream.
• You
can customize the materials in the fountain. See Editing Materials for details.
