Created page with "=Introduction= ArcMap will be used to import the check files and view the final elevations in the 2D model. =Method= With the <tt>Write Check Files </tt></f..."

New page
=Introduction=
ArcMap will be used to import the check files and view the final elevations in the 2D model.
=Method=
With the <tt>Write Check Files </tt> command specified, TUFLOW will output the elevations in the model in two formats. The elevations at the 9 points around the cell are contained in a point layer, this file is named '''M01_5m_002_zpt_check_P.shp''' and is located in the '''TUFLOW\check\2d\''' folder. This file contains the exact elevations in the model. As this point vector layer contains thousands of points and is not easy to visualise TUFLOW also outputs a raster (gridded) dataset in the .flt format. The raster dataset can be viewed easily in most GIS packages including ArcMap. 
''Note: The DEM_Z file is a north-south aligned raster layer. Our model is rotated. The raster data has been interpolated from the model dat, and as such does not contain the '''exact''' elevation. It is however, much easier to visualise and is extremely useful nonetheless''
<ol>
<li> Load the '''M01_5m_002_DEM_Z.flt''' file from the '''TUFLOW\check\2d\''' folder. This can be dragged and dropped into ArcMap from Windows Explorer or loaded from the Catalog Window. To do this, open the Catalog Window, navigate to the '''TUFLOW\check\2d''' folder and drag this into the layer control as per the image below.</li>

=Conclusion=
If the elevations in ArcMap file look like the image above, the DEM or TIN input has been successful! The same approach can be used to visualise the spatial distribution of land-use (materials) by loading the '''M01_5m_002_DEM_M.flt''' layer.
