==Introduction==
This page describes the method for using MapInfo to create the GIS based material types (land use areas) for the proposed development. Once these layers have been setup, surface roughness or bed-resistance values (e.g. Manning’s n) are assigned to each of these land use areas via the materials.csv file created in [[Module1_test_Archive#Define_the_Materials_.28Surface_Roughness.29|Module 1]]. 

==Method==
<li>Copy the contents of the '''Module_data\Module_07\Materials''' into the '''TUFLOW\model\mi''' folder. This folder contains the following two layers: '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_001''' and '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_Buildings_001'''.
<li>Open both layers in the current view in MapInfo. The '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_001''' layer contains polygons defining grassed areas and roads within the proposed development. The '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_Buildings_001''' layer contains polygons defining the buildings within the proposed development.
<li>The materials attribute for a number of polygons representing proposed roads in the '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_001''' layer have not been assigned and will need to be populated. Assign a Material ID of 2 to these polygons as shown in the figure below. Leave the remaining larger polygon with a Material ID of 1.

All polygons within the '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_Buildings_001''' layer represent the buildings of the proposed development and will have the same Material ID of 3. Make use of the ‘Update Column’ feature to automatically assign this value to all objects at the same time. Select the dropdown menu ''Table > Update Column''. Select '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_Buildings_001''' as the ‘Table to Update’ and ‘Material’ as the ‘Column to Update’. Type 3 in the Value field. Click OK when done. Viewing the '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_Buildings_001''' layer within a Table Browser should confirm that a value of 3 for the attribute ‘Material’ has been assigned to all objects.

<li>Open the '''Materials.csv''' file created in Module 1 within the '''TUFLOW\model\''' folder to observe the Manning’s n values that will be assigned to each Material ID.
<li>Save and export both '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_001''' and '''2d_mat_M07_DEV_Buildings_001''' layers in MID/MIF format.

==Conclusion==
Two 2d_mat GIS layers have been created to define land use categories representing the proposed development. [[Tutorial_Module07_Archive#Define_Pipe_Network | Please return to the main page of module 7]].
