Above Ground Pools - Is there a better way?

[ChiefRichMD]

I have Home Designer Pro 2025 and wanted to depict our 27' above gound pool that we have a deck built around.  I couldn't find a way to create an above ground pool so I

1) Created a CAD circle line

2) Converted the CAD line to a terrain wall and specified the height.

3) Created a round pond - 56" from terrain to top and 56" thick - slightly smaller diameter than the CAD/Terrain wall

4) Put the pond in the terrain wall with initial color, etc.

5) Selected both and made an architectural block and added it to my gallery

 

It works - shadows display, etc. but it is a bit crude - although I will update it if there is no better way.

 

Is this approach the only viable way?

Why didn't you use one from the library?

Try searching the core library for pools

I searched several times and only found in-ground pools.  It it a custom content addition?

In the core library...Exteriors / Recreation/Pools, Spas, & Waterfront/ Pools/ Round Pools

Thanks!  I don't know how I missed it.  I think I saw a couple of years ago that there wasn't an option so I wasn't expecting to find it and only saw the in-ground pools...
