=Introduction=
This page contains a brief introduction to the useArcGIS software. A number of ArcGIS fortasks usewhich are repeatedly used in creating a TUFLOW modelling.[[Talk:ArcGIS_Tipsmodel |are Pleasedescribed addbelow, ArcGISeach Suggestionsof Here!]]these has a separate page.
 
== Shapefile Naming Conventions ==
In these ArcGIS shapefiles different object types (points, lines and regions) are stored in separate files. When TUFLOW outputs in shapefile format, each file ends in:<br>
*_P to indicate a point file;
*_L to indicate a line file; or
* _R to indicate a region (polygon) file.
 
=Basics=
This page is still being completed, In this section will beoutlines some basic GIS functions that are regularly used in creating TUFLOW models inusing ArcGIS.

=arcTUFLOW Toolbox =
A toolbox is available for Arc Map 10.01 and 10.1newer, this toolbox helps with streamlining the process of creating and editing a TUFLOW model in ArcMap. This utility can be downloaded <br>
[http://www.tuflow.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1298#entry3417 via the TUFLOW forum here].
== Loading the Utility ==
To use you will need to unzip file above, open ArcMap and in the toolbox window, right click and select “add toolbox”.

Navigate to the ArcTUFLOW directory, select ArcTUFLOW.tbx and then choose open (note you can’t double click on this).

=== Configure TUFLOW (Required Initialization Step) ===
The first item “Configure TUFLOW” creates a configuration file for all of the arcTUFLOW tools based on the map document. The steps for running the configuration tool are outlined below:
1) Open or save a map document before running).
2) Select a TUFLOW folder for your model. This should be the folder that contains the entire TUFLOW model folder structure. For example, if your TUFLOW folder is C:\projects\TUFLOW\, the folder set here should be “C:\projects\”. All of the following tools will use this location.
3) Enter the file path to the TUFLOW executable
4) Select the projection for the your TUFLOW model
