View source for Tutorial M08 002 GIS Inputs QGIS GPKG

= Introduction = 
QGIS is used to create, import and view input data.<br>
<br>

= Method =
Set up the GeoPackage Database:
<ol>
<li>Navigate to the '''Module_08\TUFLOW\model\gis''' folder. Save a copy of '''M02_001.gpkg''' as '''M08_002.gpkg'''.
</ol>

Within the QGIS Browser Panel, navigate to the '''Module_08\Tutorial_Data''' folder. Drag and drop the following layers from their separate databases into the '''Module_08\TUFLOW\model\gis\M08_002.gpkg''' database:
:*'''2d_zsh_M02_landscape_002_L'''
:*'''2d_zsh_M02_landscape_002_P'''
:*'''2d_zsh_M02_landscape_002_R'''
:*'''2d_mat_M02_landscape_002_R'''

Investigate the supplied files:
<ol>
<li>Open the files, either:
:*Within the QGIS Browser Panel, navigate to '''M08_002.gpkg''' and double click the layers, or
:*In File Explorer, drag and drop the '''M08_002.gpkg''' into the QGIS workspace and select the layers (hold Ctrl to select multiple).
<li>The 2d_zsh landscape files create a TIN elevation footprint of the development. The 2d_mat file contains polygons that represent the updated land use due to the topography changes. See <u>[[Tutorial_M02_002_GIS_Inputs_QGIS_GPKG | Module 2]]</u> for more information.<br>

</ol>
<br>

= Conclusion = 
:*Complex development site with TIN functionality was supplied and inspected.
:*The 2d_mat layer was reviewed defining the spatial extents for new land use categories.
