[Help] (Basic) Placing water

Hello,

I was messing around in my test map in BF2 (still not PR), and I dragged water into a ditch and I couldnt see any water (I didnt drag the file, I dragged the icon itself), how can I place it?
Sorry for the nooby question, I read the tuts and they didnt teach me how to do it... :roll:

There are two types of water in BF2. Sea water and water planes.

Sea water is at one constant level and covers the entire map and is set in the water settings tab in the tweaker menu, click you map name tab and then expand the sea water tab iirc. Note, sea water dosen't mean it has to be used for only sea water, it works just fine for river water too.

Water planes should be used for making different water levels, like the water behind a dam that's higher than the river in front of the dam. These are placed like static objects and are found in objects/water/.
