Line 5:
#The first point in a cross-section line is treated as the start of the cross-section on the left bank.
#Elevation points having the same XS_ID are sorted based on the shortest distance between them. This means the points do not have to be in order across the cross-section (as often seems to be the case!). The cross-section line is not used for setting the distance (X) values for the profile.
#If there is no cross-section line for a set of elevation points, this is accepted provided that at least one point (the start on the left bank)
If a TUFLOW cross-section database has been created using [[12da_to_from_mif | 12da_to_from_mif.exe]], it will have created a .mif layer ready to be used for xsGenerator.exe. This layer can be used to assign material values in a GIS to the MNR attribute from a material polygon layer (eg. your 2d_mat layer), then processed by xsGenerator to recreate the TUFLOW cross-section database with material values allocated across the cross-section profiles in the .csv files.<br>
xsGenerator can also be used to generate a cross-section database using survey data in the ISIS format (see the isis option). The first file specified must a .mif file in the correct projection, with subsequent files being the survey files. Wildcards can be used to input numerous files (eg. *.xyz).<br><br>
