There may be some parts around, but it is not to tough to draw/model with the mesh tool.

Place contours inside the bounds and give them negative elevations to the top of the mesh. To fill it with water just drop in a slab and then subtract the pool to get a proper fit in section.

While the water surface is easy enough ( I am forwarding this ArchiCAD TALK member a library part), the complex pool wall is not so easy, with overspill gutter and deck mesh.

ArchiCAD 10 now has a complex wall tool where you can draw the wall section and place a wall surround around the water to contain it.

So there it is, water AND vessel.

And if you are a Trekkie I think that would be "wessel"

If you want a pretty basic pool, you can usually find them in the library. The INT version definitely has them. You can open your Object Settings dialog and change it from Folder View to Find Library parts and do a Find for pool.

You can change the freeform pool to different shapes: 8-shaped, Kidney- shaped, L-shaped. Fun for the whole family.

Cheers,
