==Import a Single File==
To import a file select the third icon from the left (single red arrow pointing downward). This will open a file import dialogue (see below). Navigate to the folder and select the file you wish to import. If importing a table from the '''TUFLOW\Model\mi\Empty\''' the utility will automatically navigate up one level to save the table in the '''TUFLOW\Model\mi\''' folder. Set the file name and select ''Open''.<br>
The utility automatically add the newly created table to the ''Layer Control'' as the top file and sets it to be ''Editable''.<br>

This will open second dialogue box (2nd image below), in this dialogue you can select multiple files to be imported using the ''Control'' and ''Shift'' keys.<br>
