So the water area only sets at one meter intervals from what the game denotes as sea level.
Sometimes these habitats set at a point where they are just a bit above that point where the water was in the creator's build. To solve this issue we often need to raise the terrain around the water area slightly. Other times the hole for the water doesn't quite line up with the spot where the creator originally plated it and now it is being blocked by something else that controls terrain. This is due to the one meter grid for terrain and how we very rarely match the location the creator used.

For the building issue i'm not sure. Do you mean the building can't be entered into build mode? Double clicking the building or clicking the the pencil icon doesn't work? Or do you mean there is no place to add in the building?

i mean when i click on a door icon in the construction menu it just lies there beside the building, i try to place it with the advanced move key and rotation, but it dosnt really seen to click into place, and i cant put a path to it?

On the right tab, when you are in construction menu, enable the "align to surface". This will put the door or window against your wall; using the "F" key will center it. The "x" key will allow precise placement. The doors and windows under the construction menu are cosmetic only that is why a path will not join to the door and the npcs can not use the door. The doors that come with the facilities ( shops,etc.) and habitat gates are usable by the npcs and a path will connect to them. Cosmetic doors are placed over them just for the looks as, while they do not open and close, the npcs can pass through them and use the real door.
Hope this helps.
