Masking a Stream or River

[Doug]

Thought I would ask a question here, maybe I'll catch an answer.  At Thayer Creek Hydro, I've created a small lake where the stream is dammed up.  The result works fine, but the stream STILL runs across the top of the lake ... looking pretty weird. You can see it in one of the attached pictures. In another picture, you'll see I "covered" it with dock parts making a scenic walkway ... not too realistic, but it looks much better than a stream with shorelines running across the top of the lake.

My question ... anyone know how to mask a "section" of a stream/river like that?

Doug,
is a stream autogen?  Asking because I believe you can use an exclude to kill autogen.  If it is part of the terrain I don't think an exclude will work.

I think that's the problem ... it is in the ORBX terrain.

Problem Solved. You draw a small polygon over the offending creek. In SBuilder, you then use the "Exclude all Streams" (which is frightening ... ALL streams?) But it only excludes the streams in that "vector". So in this case, one stream. But then, of course, you have to rebuild the stream. Thanks to Holger Sandmann for help on this one!  Here is the result ...
