Line 28:
<li> Paste the command to the existing TUFLOW model TCF (the one using the MapInfo format inputs), <font color="blue"><tt>MI Projection</tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>==</tt></font>
<li> Also in the existing TUFLOW model TCF, replace the command <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>

You will now be able to add compatible QGIS SHP format files to your model. The QGIS TUFLOW Plugin "Import empty file" tool is recommended. <br>

Line 40:
<li> Import empty QGIS SHP template files for the required object types.
<li> Copy the features from the MapInfo layers to the relevant new QGIS SHP files. Note, double check the attribute values have been correctly transferred to the new file. In some rare instances when the field attribute type is incompatible this does not occur.
<li> Update the commands within your updated TUFLOW model to reference to the new QGIS SHP files. For future traceability it is best to comment out the prior MapInfo input commands using <font color="green"><tt>!</tt></font>, instead of deleting them.<br>
