Fluid Effects > Ocean > Add Preview Plane
 
 
 

Adds a preview plane to an ocean effect. A preview plane shows a shaded patch of the ocean with displacement in shaded display mode. You can scale and translate it to preview different parts of the ocean. This plane is for preview only and will not render.

You can create this plane at the time you create the ocean by turning on Create preview plane. See, Fluid Effects > Ocean > Create Ocean.
