When XPSWMM writes its TUFLOW files, it consolidates all the information into a single folder, typically the '''2D\Data''' folder. This is not the standard TUFLOW structure. The standard structure used by the majority of TUFLOW modelers globally includes the following subfolders:

To simplify the process of converting the XPSWMM model to the recommended TUFLOW SWMM folder structure, we have developed a processing tool. This tool converts the GIS format written by XPSWMM (mif/mid) into a more user friendly GeoPackage Database format, creates the recommended TUFLOW folder structure, and saves the converted model files to their correct locations.

For more information on the processing tool, see [[Convert_TUFLOW_Model_GIS_Format | Convert TUFLOW Model GIS Format]].

<ol>
<li> Open QGIS. If you do not have QGIS installed:
:*Install QGIS 3.34 or later: [https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html Latest 64-bit version of QGIS].
:*Install the QGIS TUFLOW Plugin by following the instructions, [[TUFLOW_QGIS_Plugin | QGIS TUFLOW Plugin Installation]].
<li> In QGIS, go to Processing > Toolbox from the top dropdown menu options to open the Processing Toolbox.
<li> Go to 'TUFLOW' in the processing tool list and select 'Convert TUFLOW Model GIS Format'. This opens the dialog shown below.
:* TCF: Click '...' and navigate to the XPSWMM .tcf. This should be located in the '''2D\Data''' folder.
:* Output Vector Format: 'GPKG'
:* Output Raster Format: 'GTIFF'
:* Output Profile: Any option can be used. 'ALL IN ONE' is used in this example for model design consistency with the [[Tutorial_Introduction | TUFLOW SWMM Tutorials]].
:* Output Folder: Click '...' and navigate to an appropriate location to save your TUFLOW model. In this location, create a new folder called '''TUFLOW''' and select it.
:* Advanced Parameters:
::* Tick on 'Write empty files'.
::* Output CRS: Select an appropriate Coordinate Reference System (CRS) for the model. For the demonstration model, the CRS is 'EPSG:32760 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S'.
::* Tick on 'Force TUFLOW Directory Structure'.
::* TUFLOW Directory Structure Settings: Click '...'. Under 'Folder Structure', click the [[File: convert_model_GIS_plus_icon_01a.png | 30px]] icon to add a folder. Set 'Key' to '''swmm''', and 'Path' to '''./model/swmm'''. Tick on this new '''swmm''' folder.
<li> Click 'Run'. Once the tool is finished, click 'Close'.
 
{{Video|name=Animation_XPtoTUFLOW_2D_model_03d.mp4|width=1350}}
 
<li> Inspect the tool output to familiarize yourself with the TUFLOW model folder and file structure.
