Lets forget about the the fish themselves. I am having trouble creating the tank!! I select the FISHTANK GLASS and size it just fine. here are the problems....

I try and put gravel into the tank and it goes invisible once it enters the tank area. Also, the tank has glass, but no water...

Unsure what I am doing wrong..... do i need to add the FISHTANK GLASS TOP first? or set parametes or something? Help!!

Jackie,
The glass needs to be invisible in state to see through it. Make sure you have the Advanced box checked first. Go to the State tab and scroll down the list and uncheck invisible. Then you should be able to see through the glass. You also have to do this when you set up a trigger box for a dance floor. I just used the tank top glass for the walls, looks more like water. Wink I just rotate and resize to fit where I want it. Hope this helps hun.

Smile, MrsRed

Click the advanced box and select no Z buffer in the state tab. This has been newly updated in the guide.
