=== Set GIS Projection and Create Empty (Template) GIS Files ===
The first step when creating a TUFLOW model always requires the user to define the GIS projection (iei.e. the geographic coordinate system to be used for the TUFLOW model) and also write template GIS files for future model inputs.<br>
''Note: All model inputs will need to use a common projection.''

=== Define the Materials (Surface Roughness) ===
Surface roughness or bed resistance values (ege.g. Manning’s n) are assigned to Materials values. The '''Module_Data\Module_01\''' folder already contains the materials table that we’ll use. We will review these in a GIS package, please select one of:

== TUFLOW Simulation Control File (TCF) Updates ==
=== Set Model Controls ===
This is the last step before running the simulation. Once this step has been completed, most of the ground workgroundwork has been completed. Subsequent modules build upon this base.

You do <u>not</u> need to add the comments, following the exclamation marks. These commands are generally self explanatory. However, for this tutorial model they are included. To clarify the purpose of each line.<br>
The final command "Map Output Format" controls the output file format, this is discussed further in the results viewing section below.<br>
The TUFLOW simulation is now ready to be run for the first time.
