A plugin for QGIS has been developed (by Lutra Consulting) which allows the TUFLOW binary format (.dat) to be viewed in QGIS without the need to convert these into shapefile or raster format. INstallation instruction are available on the [http://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/resources/crayfish/ Crayfish page on the Lutra website].

The plugin has a number of limitiations as outlined on the page above these include support for 2D only model results (no 1D mapping). The .xmdf file format is not yet supported.

To view models with 1D mapping (which is introduced in Module 04) raster and vector layers will need to be used, this method is outlined in the following page [[View_Results_in_QGIS | view Results in QGIS using shapefiles / raster layers]].
=Method=
<ol>
<li>Ensure that the Crayfish plugin has been installed ([http://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/resources/crayfish/ installation instructions are on the Crayfish homepage]).</li>
<li>Ensure QGIS is open.</li>
<li>Open a TUFLOW layer by selecting '''Plugins >> Crayfish >> Add Crayfish Layer''' from the menu</li>
[[File:QGIS Crayfish 01.jpg|300px]]
 
<li>In the dialogue navigate to the '''TUFLOW\results\M01\2d\''' Folder and add the '''M01_5m_002_d.dat''' file (_d is depth).</li>
[[File:QGIS Crayfish 02.jpg|600px]]
 
<li>Repeat the process for the following files:
* M01_5m_002_h.dat (Head)
* M01_5m_002_V.dat (Velocity)
* M01_5m_002_q.dat (Flow) 
'''Tip''' Look for the "Add Crayfish Layer" in the toolbar</li>
