== Introduction ==
This page details the method for using MapInfo to create the GIS based material types (land use areas). Once the GIS layers are setup (in this section), surface roughness or bed-resistance values (e.g. Manning's n) are assigned to each of these land use areas (in the main tutorial module, [[Module1_test_ArchiveTutorial_Module01_Archive#Define_the_Materials_.28Surface_Roughness.29|here]]).
 
The '''Module_Data\Module_01\MapInfo\''' folder contains the materials files that we will use.
Line 34:

<li> Import the empty (template) file named '''2d_mat_empty.mif''' from '''TUFLOW\Model\mi\empty\'''and save this in the '''TUFLOW\model\mi\''' folder as as '''2d_mat_M01_002.tab''', add this file in the Layer Control, make it editable and digitise your own material polygons ensuring to assign a Material ID to each polygon as shown above.</li>
<li>Export the '''2d_mat_M01_002''' table in MID/MIF format.<br>

</ol>

== Conclusion ==
MapInfo has been used to view (or create) a "2d_mat" layer which defines the spatial extents of the land use categories. Material commands have been added to the TGC. Please return to [[Module1_test_ArchiveTutorial_Module01_Archive#Define_the_Materials_.28Surface_Roughness.29|Tutorial Module 1]].
