The following steps are used to create the replacement 1D bridge channel - ''1d_nwk'' -  that will represent the bridge in the 1D domain.<br>
==Method==
<li>Make a copy of the layer '''1d_nwk_M04_culverts_001_L''' located in the '''TUFLOW\model\gis''' folder and save as '''1d_nwk_M06_bridge_001_L'''.</li>
<li>Add the newly saved layer to the QGIS window and start editing. Right click on the 1d_nwk_M06_bridge_001_L layer in the Table of Contents and open the attribute table.</li>
<li>Locate the entry for the feature labelled with ID ''FC01.2_R''. Select the other two features within the layer and delete the selected features. Only the feature with ID ''FC01.2_R'' should remain.</li>
<li>Update the attributes of the remaining feature as follows. Note that Type ''B'' stands for Bridge.</li>

<li>Note that the data entries for the other attributes are not used for the Bridge type structure (Len_or_ANA, n_or_n_F, Width_or_D, Height_or_, Number_of, Height_Con, Width_Cont, Entry_Loss and Exit_Loss). However, to avoid confusion it is recommended that these other attributes be cleared. Delete the data entry for the other attributes not used for the Bridge type structure.<br>
We have changed the in-channel structure to a bridge. Therefore, we have updated the feature ID attribute to ''FC01.2_B''.<br>

<li>Copy the ‘'''bg'''’ folder (and contents) located in '''Module_Data\Module_06\QGIS\1D_Bridge''' and paste it in the '''TUFLOW\model\''' folder.  This folder contains the bridge cross section  csv file, bridge form loss csv file and the shapefile that connects the bridge cross section to the '''1d_nwk_M06_bridge_001_L''' layer. It also contains the weir geometry csv that we will use later for Bridge Modelling Option 2.</li>
<li>Open the '''1d_bg_M06_bridge_001_L''' layer in QGIS and use the Identify Features tool to observe the attributes.  T The 1d_nwk and 1d_bg layers are pictured below. The two polylines intersect the 1d_nwk feature. The Source attribute controls the data used to define the bridge cross section (type 'HW', shown in black) and loss coefficient table (type 'LC', shown in red). Note that there is no need to define the elevation of the bridge soffit. TUFLOW will automatically assume this is the highest (last) elevation within the cross section table. </li>

While we are replacing the culverts at one of the structures, we still need the other two culvert structures present in the model area.  We are therefore going to create a copy of the 1d_nwk shapefile containing the other culverts that can be read into the model.

<li>Make a copy of the layer '''1d_nwk_M04_culverts_001_L''' and save as '''1d_nwk_M06_culverts_001_L''' in the '''TUFLOW\model\gis''' folder.</li>
<li>Open the newly saved shapefile in QGIS and start editing. Use the Identify Features tool to locate the feature with ID ''FC01.2_R''.  Select and delete the feature, these were the culverts that were previously in the location where our bridge currently is. Only the two other structures that we are not changing should remain. We now have two 1d_nwk layers, one with just the new bridge ('''1d_nwk_M06_bridge_001_L''') and one with the existing culverts that will remain('''1d_nwk_M06_culverts_001_L'''). Note that you could include both the bridge and the culverts in the same 1d_nwk layer but it is common modelling practice to divide them up by structure type</li>
<li>Save your edits and stop editing.</li>

==Conclusion==
The replacement 1D bridge and modified 1D culvert layers have been created to model the new bridge on the northern road.  [[Tutorial_Module06_Archive#Bridge_Modelling_Option_2:_1D_Bridge_with_1D_Weir_Overflow | Please return to the main page of module 6]].
