== Extract Cross-Sections/Elevations from DEM to TUFLOW format .csv file.==
Thanks to user Ben Throssell for submitting the following, much appreciated.
<br>
To use QGIS to extract cross sections from your DEM the following method can be used.
▲<ol>
<li>Draw your cross sections using the TUFLOW 1d_xs file, be sure to fill in the source column.</li>
<li>Install the QGIS plug-in "profile from line" (note you may also need to install shapely - see [
<li>Run the plugin, it is pretty self explanatory, select your cross sections and dem, choose a suitable sampling interval. </li>
<li> Upon running the plugin, QGIS will add a new points file to the workspace, save this as a .csv. This file will contain the source of every cross section as well as the corresponding chainages and elevations.</li>
<li>To split this data into individual .csv files in a format that TUFLOW can read in, download [[File: XSExtractor.xls]]</li>
<li>Follow the instructions in the spreadsheet, after exporting to individual worksheets use the excel TUFLOW utilities "Export Entire Workbook to csv" to obtain all the cross sections in a TUFLOW format. The TUFLOW excel utilities can be downloaded from [http://www.tuflow.com/ProductDownload.aspx the TUFLOW downloads page].
