Does anyone know if I can create a floodplain in Infraworks, and how to assign a water style to it?
I can make a shape file, but will I loose the water surface elevations in the translation of it all? I also have triangular faces with elevations. Ultimately I would like to use a surface as the Floodplain, and stylize it with water. Is that possible? Thanks!
You might try the steps below.
Create a large transparent blue plane by copying an existing plane and scaling it:
Add the plane to your model, and set the Elevation value (this represents the level of the water):
The images below show the result:

Thank you for your solution, will this also work with the version of Infraworks that comes with the 2014 Premium IDS? Our company has not yet upgraded our subscription, so I don't have R4 available yet.
Yes, it does.
I just tried it in Infraworks 2014 R2 and it works fine.
