<li>2. At this point we’ll click cancel, we’ll come back to delete the items from the layer. </li>
<li>3. Open the attribute table for the 1d_nwk_MI01_Pipes_001_L.shp file. Find the SKSM_37 feature, right click on it and select ‘Zoom to feature’. You should get an error reporting that the ‘Feature does not have a geometry’. Do the same for the field which has a ‘null’ ID and you will receive a similar error message.</li>

Line 18:
The presence of these null geometries would cause an error when running TUFLOW. Rather than wait for TUFLOW to pre-process and generate the error, the 1D integrity tool allows the user to be more proactive in checking the geometry.
 
<li>4. Go back to the 1D Integrity tool, ensure the ‘Empty Geometry’ tab is selected and again click ‘Run’. This time, in the resulting dialogue, select the option to ‘Confirm Delete’ to delete the two items. This will generate a new layer called '''1d_nwk_MI01_Pipes_001_L_EG1''' which does not contain the wo null geometries.</li>
 
A new dialogue will pop up as per the below.</li>

<li>5. Review the attributes table for the '''1d_nwk_MI01_Pipes_001_L_EG1''' layer to ensure deletion of the two features identified in step 4.</li>
 
''Note: Whenever the 1D Integrity makes changes to an input layer it will always output a new temporary layer with a unique suffix. It will never overwrite or edit the input layers directly. Each tool outputs a different suffix and serves as somewhat of a log to record which tools have been run and which order they were run in. The temporary layers only exist in memory and have not been written to the disk anywhere, this means that they will be lost if they are removed from the workspace or QGIS is closed.''
