<li> Initialise your QGIS session using the TUFLOW Plugin:
* Select ''Plugins >> TUFLOW >> Edditing > Create/Configure TUFLOW Project''.

* Select the folder that contains the TUFLOW model.
* Select the TUFLOW Executable location.

* Tick Save Default Settings
* Tick Create Model Folder Structure. This will add any missing folders to the existing folder structure (eg. TUFLOW/gis)
