The download contains the .esriAddinX, a stand alone toolbar add-in to ArcGIS.

The "Import Empty" tool can be used to import new SHP or GPKG files for editing.
* Ensure the Empty Directory location is correct.
* Select the desired Empty Type (e.g. 2d_code, 2d_bc). A list and description of available types can be found in Table 2-4 of the <u>[https://downloadsdocs.tuflow.com/TUFLOWclassic-hpc/Releasesmanual/Latestlatest/TUFLOW%20Manual.pdf 2018 TUFLOW Manual]</u>.
* 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).
