A toolbox is available for Arc Map 10.1 and newer, this toolbox helps with streamlining the process of creating and editing a TUFLOW model in ArcMap. This utility can be downloaded from the TUFLOW website:
http://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Utilities.aspx<br>
Before starting this page you will need to download the utility from the link above and load this into ArcMap. To load the utility please see the instructions here: <u>[[
In this page we will use the ArcTUFLOW toolbox to create a TUFLOW project for the TUFLOW tutorial module 1.<br>
This will perform the following steps:
Line 27:
<li>Hit '''OK''' to create the folders and run TUFLOW. If successful, a TUFLOW window will be created and a message box that '''Empty Template GIS Files Created'''.</li>

<li>The directory structure will have been created. This will be located in the parent folder, and will look like the following. The folders are as described in [[
A projection file has been created (in the model\gis folder - TUFLOW\model\gis\Projection.prj). This contains an ArcMap projection file and all GIS files input / output from the model
A TUFLOW control file (TUFLOW\runs\Create_Empties.tcf) has been created. This contains the commands as outlined in [[
A TUFLOW simulation has been started with the '''Create_Empties.tcf''' file as the input. This TUFLOW simulation has created a series of template files which has the correct projection and the correct attributes. Different input layers in TUFLOW require different attributes. For example a initial water level layer (2d_IWL_) only requires a single attribute (which is the initial water level value), whilst a 1d channel layer (1d_nwk_)has a number of attributes including channel type, upstream and downstream elevation.
