=Introduction=
A TUFLOW toolbox is available for ArcMap 10.1 and newer (if you are using ArcGIS Pro, please refer to <u>[[ArcGIS_TUFLOW_Toolbar | ArcGIS Pro TUFLOWToolbar]]</u>). This toolbox helps with streamlining the process of creating and editing a TUFLOW model in ArcMap. A Toolbar has also been developed to accompany the toolbox to further increase efficiency and workflow. The toolbar shortcuts the opening of the toolbox utilities to a single click on an easily accessible toolbar.
 
These utilities can be downloaded from the TUFLOW website: http://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Utilities.aspx▼
* [https://www.tuflow.com/downloads/#utilities Download Link]
 
The download contains both the .esriaddin and the ArcTUFLOW Toolbox. The .esriaddin is a stand alone toolbar add-in to ArcMap and (as suggested) is a stand alone item that does not need to be kept with the other contents of the download. The .tbx is the ArcTUFLOW Toolbox and should be kept with the other folders contained in the download.

2. [[#Create_TUFLOW_Folders | Create TUFLOW Folders]]<br>
| This is the first step of any new model or ArcGIS workspace. Using the '''Configure TUFLOW''' utility will create a ''_config.txt'' file that will pre-populate fields in the other utilities that speed up their use. The '''Create TUFLOW Folders''' utility can also be used to create the TUFLOW folder structure and empty SHP files.

|These utilities are used in the model development stage to speed up creation of TUFLOW layers. Using the '''Import Empty''' utility enables the user to quickly add empty SHP layers, and the '''Increment Layer''' utility allows the user to rev up TUFLOW layers as the model progresses in iterations. Other utilities such as '''Create Breakline''' automate some of the more time consuming steps in the model build.

| These utilities are intended for the purpose of checking and reviewing input files and viewing 1D and time series results. The '''Load Simulation Input Files''' utility allows the user to load in the input SHP files and CHECK files from a simulation for review. And <b>TUPLOT</b> introduces the functionality currently available in QGIS to ArcGIS for viewing 1D and time series results.

==Create TUFLOW Folders==
The tool "Create TUFLOW Folders" will create the standard TUFLOW folder structure and generate empty TUFLOW template files.
 
This tool is best used if [[ArcTUFLOW_Configure_TUFLOW | Configure TUFLOW]] has been run prior.

==Import Empty (template) TUFLOW Files==
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
*Specify the run ID for the file. This will be added to the file name as a suffix.
<br>
The ArcTUFLOW toolbox requires configuring prior to using this tool. Refer to [[#Configure_TUFLOWArcTUFLOW_Configure_TUFLOW | Configure TUFLOW]] for more instructions. <br><br>

* Specify a search radius for considering neighbouring elevation values if using a statistical approach to elevation extraction - leave blank to extract elevation from immediate cell
* Specify a statistical operation (must be coupled with a search radius). Options include:
** 'MAXMAXIMUM'
** 'MINMINIMUM'
** 'MEAN'

==Label Selected Layer==
 
This tool will auto label the selected layer in the TOC. If the selected layer is a TUFLOW layer (e.g. 1d_nwk) the tool will automatically apply an expression, displaying useful information about the layer. It can also be used on non-TUFLOW layers, however will only label the first attribute. The user also has the option of changing the label colour from the adjacent drop down box (default is black if no colour is selected).
 
This tool is useful for reviewing models as well as building.
 
==TUPLOT==
 
TUPLOT is a 1D and 2D time series results viewer. A full description on how to use it is below:
