TUFLOW SWMM Tutorial M03: Difference between revisions

In previous tutorials we have created new SWMM GeoPackage databases for our new entries. This tutorial will demonstrate a different update approach. Instead of creating a new SWMM GeoPackage database, we will update anthe existing database, ('''sw03_001).gpkg''' by adding new SWMM Sections for the hydrology elements we will be incorporating into the model in this tutorial.

<li>Go to '''Processing > Toolbox''' from the top dropdown menu options to open the Processing Toolbox Panel.

<li>Go to '''TUFLOW > SWMM''' in the processing tool list and select '<u>[[QGIS_SWMM_GeoPackage_Add_Sections |GeoPackage - Add Sectionssections]]</u>'. This opens the dialog shown below.

: SWMM Sections to add: *'''Hydrology--Raingages''', '''Hydrology--Subcatchments'''

The above steps have added the new Sectionssections to the SWMM GeoPackage database, '''sw03_001.gpkg'''. TheHowever, the new additonal sections however are not currently displayed in the QGIS layersLayers panelPanel. We need to close the database and reopen it to view the changechanges.

<li>In Rightthe QGIS Layers Panel, right click '''sw03_001''' in the QGIS layer panel and select '''Remove Group...'''.

<li> In File Explorer, navigate to the '''TUFLOW\model\swmm''' folder and drag and drop '''sw03_001.gpkg''' into QGIS.

<li> When prompted by QGIS, under 'Options', tick on 'Add layers to group', then select 'Add Layers' to open all vectors within '''sw03_001.gpkg'''. By default, all items in the available list should have been selected.

<li> In the QGIS Layers panelPanel, move '''sw03_001.gpkg''' to the top of the list. This will ensure the data within this database file is displayed above all other layers in the project when we are making edits.
