Step 3

Choose your contour dimensions

Choose from 2.5D or 3D. 2.5D is stair stepped contours like in the 1st and 4th picture. Each depth line on the map is easily identified. 3D is a smooth model used to define the lake bottom. The transitions between contour lines are smoothed out and the lake bottom looks like rolling hills. Refer to 2nd and 3rd pictures.

Step 4

Choose your water

Choose from a beautiful natural wood color (2nd picture above) or spice it up with Driftwood stain (1st picture above) so the grain detail is vibrant. Want the water to be blue? No problem! Choose BLUE Water (3rd picture above) and we use our specialized color process to produce deep water blues.
