=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:
* [httphttps://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Utilities.aspxdownloads/#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.

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

* Specify a statistical operation (must be coupled with a search radius). Options include:
** 'MAXMAXIMUM'

==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.
