=Introduction=
A TUFLOW toolbar is available for ArcGIS XXPro 3.4 and newer. This toolbar helps with streamlining the process of creating and editing a TUFLOW model in ArcGIS.
 
The ArcGIS toolbar can be downloaded from the TUFLOW website:
* [https://tuflow.com/downloads/#utilitiesgis_tools Download Link]
 
The download containcontains the .esriAddinX, a stand alone toolbar add-in to ArcGIS.

==Configure TUFLOW==
[[File:ArcGIS Configure.png|thumb|right]]
The “Configure TUFLOW” tool creates a configuration file that will pre-populate items in other ArcGIS tools based on the project. The steps for running the configuration tool are outlined below:
* Open or create a project with a map.
* Select a TUFLOW Model folder for your model. This can be either the folder that contains the entire TUFLOW model folder structure or the folder that contains the TUFLOW subdirectories. For example, it can be either "D:\projects\Example\TUFLOW" or “D:\projects\Example\”. All of the following tools will use this location.
* Enter the file path to the TUFLOW executable.
* Select the projection for the TUFLOW model. <br>
* If the "Create Folder Structure" check-box is enabled when the tool is run, the standard TUFLOW folder structure is created. A projection layer is saved inside the '''TUFLOW\model\gis''' folder and a simple TUFLOW control file (.tcf) is created. This .tcf file is in the '''TUFLOW\runs''' folder and is named Create_Empties.tcf.
*If the "Create Template Files" check-box is enabled a TUFLOW simulation is started with the Create_Empties.tcf as in the input file. This simulation creates a series of template files in the '''TUFLOW\model\gis\empty''' folder. All of these template files have projection (CRS) as defined and have the correct GIS attributes for use in TUFLOW modelling. This can be brought into ArcGIS using the [[#Import Empty (template) TUFLOW Files | Import Empty]] tool.
* If the "Tutorial Model" check-box is enabled, the Create_Empties.tcf will run with the "Tutorial Model == ON" command.
* Select the default GIS format used in the TUFLOW model. If creating empty files, the empty files will be output in this format along with the projection file. The GPKG format is compatible with the TUFLOW 2023-03 Release or later.
 
The first item, “Configure TUFLOW”, creates a configuration file that will pre-populate items in other ArcTUFLOW tools based on the map document. The steps for running the configuration tool are outlined below:
* Open or save a map document before running.
* Select a TUFLOW folder for your model. This can be either the folder that contains the entire TUFLOW model folder structure or the folder that contains the TUFLOW subdirectories. For example, it can be either "D:\projects\Example\TUFLOW" or “D:\projects\Example\”. All of the following tools will use this location.
* Enter the file path to the TUFLOW executable
* Select the projection for the TUFLOW model <br>

==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 [[#Configure_TUFLOW | Configure TUFLOW]] has been run prior.
 
[[File: ArcTUFLOW_CreateTUFLOWFolders.PNG]]
 
==Import Empty (template) TUFLOW Files==
[[File:ArcGIS ImportEmpty.png|thumb|right]]
 
The "Import Empty" Template Files"tool can be used to import new shpSHP or GPKG files for editing. This tool will automatically delete the dummy "null" entry which otherwise requires manual deletion if an empty file loaded from the catalog.
* Ensure the Empty Directory location is correct.
*Select the object type (point, line or region)
* Select the desired Empty Type (e.g. 2d_code, 2d_bc). A list and description of available types can be found in the <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW Manual]</u>.
*Select the desired template file
* Specify the run ID for the file. This will be added to the file name as a suffix.
*Select the object type (points, lines or regions).
<br>
The example shown in the image will create a new layer called "2d_code_M01_001_R.shp". This layer will be automatically saved into the '''TUFLOW\model\gis''' folder.
The ArcTUFLOW toolbox requires configuring prior to using this tool. Refer to [[#Configure_TUFLOW | Configure TUFLOW]] for more instructions. <br><br>

==Insert TUFLOW Attributes==
[[File:ArcGIS ImportAttributes.png|thumb|right]]
 
The "Insert TUFLOW Attributes" tool will insert a TUFLOW attribute template in front of an existing GIS layer. This is useful when transferring data from a database (e.g. councilGIS stormwater network) to TUFLOW format.
 
The steps are:
* Select the input file (the file to have TUFLOW attribuesattributes inserted into).
* Select the TUFLOW file format.
* Specify a run ID for the file. This will be added to the name as a suffix.
 
This tool is best used if [[#Configure_TUFLOWArcTUFLOW_Configure_TUFLOW | Configure TUFLOW]] has been run prior.

==Increment Layer==
[[File:ArcGIS_Increment.png|thumb|right]]
 
The tool "Increment Layer" will increment up one or more TUFLOW layers to a new revision number and replace hethe existing layer in ArcMAPArcGIS with the same style. Currently the limitation of the tool requires revision numbers to be 3 digits longs e.g. 001.
 
The steps are:
* Select the "Source Layer" - the desired TUFLOW layer to be incremented (these can be dragged and dropped from the TOC into the tool window).
* Select the "Output Folder" - the desired folder for incremented layer to be saved.
* Specify the new revision number
* Specify the "Output Name" - new revision number.
* Choose to supersede the old layers (these will be placed in a 'SS' folder in the same directory as the model layer)
* Choose to supersede the old layers (these will be placed in a 'SS' folder in the same directory as the model layer).
* Choose to append revision number if none already exists
* Choose whether to keep the source layer open.

* Define the path to the TUFLOW executable

==Load Simulation Input Files==
 
This tool loads all input shp files from a model simulation into a common ArcGIS Map window.<br>
The user has the option of which files to import from the simulation.
 
[[File: ArcTUFLOW ImportSimFiles.PNG]]
<br>
<br>
<br>
The shp files will be loaded using a predefined symbology for common TUFLOW input file types. This is determined based on the prefix of the file name. For example, the symbology for 2d_code and 2d_zsh files are shown below.<br><br>

This tool is useful for reviewing models as well as building.
 
==Apply GPKG Layer Names==
This tool will change the layer name to be the same as the layer name within the GPKG database to every open GPKG layer in the workspace. This tool is useful as sometimes when GPKG layers are opened in ArcGIS (depending on how they are opened) they will contain both the database name and layer name e.g. "database - layername". This tool strips the database name from the layer name in the Layers Panel.
 
If there are open layers that are not GPKG, then it will have no affect of these layer names.
