QGIS is used to create, import and view input data.

TUFLOW Project Re-Configuration

Re-configure the TUFLOW project to use and save empty files to the correct folder:

Go to Plugins > TUFLOW > Editing > Configure / Create TUFLOW Project.
Change the folder which contains TUFLOW to the Module_07 folder. This is the only change required, the model folder structure and template empty files are supplied from previous model.
Note: The 'results' and 'check' folder get automatically created when the TUFLOW model is run.
Click 'OK' and save the QGIS workspace by selecting Project > Save As.
Set the QGIS workspace projection to EPSG:32760, see Set the Projection.

Setup the GeoPackage Database:

Navigate to the Module_07\TUFLOW\model\gis folder. Save a copy of M02_001.gpkg as M07_001.gpkg.
Within the QGIS Browser Panel, right click on 'Favorites' and select 'Add a Directory...'.
Navigate to the Module_07 folder and select it.

Open the 2d_code_M01_001_R file, either:

Within the QGIS Browser Panel, navigate to M07_001.gpkg and double click the layer, or
In File Explorer, drag and drop the M07_001.gpkg into the QGIS workspace and select the layer.
Use the 'Apply TUFLOW Styles to Open Layers'.

Create quadtree nesting layer:

Click on the ‘Import Empty File’ symbol from the TUFLOW plugin toolbar.
Select '2d_qnl' from the Empty Type list.
In the Run ID box write 'M07_001'.
Tick the 'Regions' Geometry Type.
In the Spatial Database Options, select 'All to one'. Navigate to the Module_07/TUFLOW/model/gis folder and select M07_001.gpkg. Click Save and hit 'OK'.
The 2d_qnl (quadtree nesting layer) appears in the QGIS Layers Panel.
Right click on the 2d_qnl_M07_001_R and toggle on Editing.
Select 'Add Polygon Feature' and digitise a polygon around the creek.
