TUFLOW models can use a combination of MapInfo MIF/MID and QGIS SHP files. The existing MapInfo files can be left in their current form and new updates can be added using SHP format.
<br>
Follow these steps:
<ol>
<il> Familarise yourself with the projection of the MapInfo files used by the model.
<
* Use the same projection as MapInfo files and add <font color="blue"><tt>SHP Projection</tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> ..\model\gis\Projection.prj</tt> to the <font color="blue"><tt>MI Projection</tt></font> command. Both should be included in the model.
* Replace <font color="blue"><tt>GIS Format</tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> MIF</tt> with <font color="blue"><tt>GIS Format</tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font><tt> SHP</tt>. This will apply to check files and results.
Line 8 ⟶ 15:
* Copying MIF features (points, lines and polygons separately) into a TUFLOW empty file in shapefile format.
After the conversion, attributes should be checked if they were transferred correctly.<br>
