Hi there,

I noticed recently that when you make the default Wave Tank shelf tool and you move the center of the wave tank up or down and then change the Water Level to match it, the fluid sinks.

This behavior seems incorrect to me so I'm wondering if anyone has any solutions to this because currently you can only move Wave Tanks in X and Z which seems like quite a limitation.

Hopefully I'm wrong though and there's just some checkbox I'm missing somewhere!

I'm pretty sure it has to do with having narrow band enabled. First, disable narrow band particles (you can probably get it to work with narrow band, but try this first). Also enable “Fill Volume” on the wave tank sop. Translate the Center Y attribute with a positive value, then increase the water level as well. Once narrow band is disabled, you should get a flat bottom to your flip at the bottom of the container. Now, inside of the dop on the Flip Object, change the input type from narrowband to Particle field, and your fluid shouldn't sink. Im sure you can get this working with narrowband enabled, but I wanted to give you a quick work around.
