Use this tool to draw a round or oval pond.

Kidney Shaped Pond

Stream

You can draw a stream with this tool. Normally streams are irregular in shape. Select the stream and click Advanced Spline on the edit toolbar. This gives you handles to reshape the stream. See "Advanced Splines".

A stream follows the terrain. This can result in it appearing to run uphill if the terrain is not modeled correctly.
