### V1.0b Example Level Update
Added Large and Translucent Waterfall Examples
## Placing the Waterfall
Start by deleting the already pre-generated waterfall on this rock formation.
Once deleted, open up the Waterfall Tool 2 Editor Mode.
You should then have a screen similar to this:
Drag and drop a new Waterfall Tool 2 Actor on the rock formation.
You should have something similar to this:
This will now show the editor for the selected waterfall.
## Editor Mode
{% hint style="info" %}
To select a different waterfall or create a new one quickly you can use the tab at the top just under the editor mode banner.
{% endhint %}
Under the *Path Settings* tab, set the **Kill Plane Location Z** to the height of the floor.
{% hint style="info" %}
This is where the waterfall path simulation will end.
*Note: The X, Y values here won't actually do anything, these values are automatically calculated when the Top Spline is changed.*
{% endhint %}
Next we will set the **Top Spline** to the desired shape of the start of the waterfall we want to create.
{% hint style="info" %}
The **Top Spline** has the same controls as a normal spline component, you can add/remove/form the spline how you like and the waterfall will follow.
{% endhint %}
For this example i made a very basic C shape
Next set the **Num Paths** to 15 and then press the **Generate Paths** button.
{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a trial and error process, you might want to reposition the **Top Spline** or change the **Num Paths** to get the desired path generation result.
{% endhint %}
Once you have the paths you are happy with press the **Generate Meshes** button.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can set the material for each generated mesh and tick meshes on and off under the *Mesh Generation Settings*.
{% endhint %}
Next press the **Generate VFX** button.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can add SFX and change or disable VFX from the *SFX* and *VFX Settings*.
{% endhint %}
**You should now have a fully generated waterfall!**
As a final optional step you can press the **Bake to Static Mesh** button to bake out the waterfall mesh as a single static mesh for optimisation.
There is a tickbox on the *Waterfall Tool 2 Actor* to toggle whether to see the Dynamic Meshes or Baked Static Mesh at runtime.
