'''Parameters'''<Br>
''TCF''<Br>
Location of an existing TUFLOW model TCF file. This is the TCF of the model that will be converted.<br>
 
''Output Vector Format''<br>
Output vector format of the converted model. Supported formats are ''GPKG, SHP, MIF''.<br>
 
''Output Raster Format''<Br>
Output raster format of the converted model. Supported formats are ''GTIFF, GPKG, ASC, FLT''.<Br>
 
''Output Profile''<Br>
Input is use only for GPKG format outputs. GPKG is a database and can store multiple layers inside one file. This option determines how the output GPKG layers will be grouped into databases.<br>
 
Options:<br>
* ''SEPARATE''<Br>
This option will write each GPKG layer into its own database. Where the tool encounters commands that have multiple geometry types read in on the same line (using the vertical line delimiter "|"), the layers will be combined into a single database.
 
* ''GROUP BY CONTROL FILE 1''<br>
This option will group layers into databases defined by the control file they were specified in. In this option, TRD and TEF files are not considered separate control files.<Br>
 
* ''GROUP BY CONTROL FILE 2''<br>
Similar to "GROUP BY CONTROL FILE 1" except will treat TRD and TEF as separate control files.<Br>
 
* ''ALL IN ONE''<br>
Groups all layers together into one database.<br>
 
''Output Folder''<Br>
Optional parameter specifying the output location of the converted model. By default the output location will a new folder with the same name as the input TCF located in the same folder as the input TCF.<Br>
 
''Root Folder''<br>
By default the tool will try and find the 'root' folder containing the model files (commonly this folder is named 'TUFLOW'). The tool will try and guess the root folder based on the location of the TCF and the directory structure. If it can't find the root folder, or it picks the wrong folder then this parameter can be used to override this location within the tool.
