✔️ Download example fileThe CONTENTWATER tool texture removes collision from a brush and mirrors the faces inside out. If your brush is a world brush or entity that doesn't produce a brush model, CONTENTWATER shouldn't be used as it will turn the brush into a water volume that will cause visibility errors for those who submerge themselves into it.
