Just curious. a surveyor has recently asked me to do a terrain model for them based on contours lines. no problem creating that. But this is for the purpose of showing the client areas of flood risk. Just curious if theres a plugin to show rising water levels or water dynamics. incredibly complex I know, but if you dont ask you dont get so thought it worth trying.

Yes, actually.

Although I never have used it.

But really, it could be done in a simple way using only SketchUp Scenes and hidden surface which represents the water level.

Plus there are a couple object animation plugins that can make it easier to actually move a "water" plane between scenes. There's Proper Animation and Keyframe Animation .

Here's a short video made using KeyFrame:
