''<b>Root Folder</b>''<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.<Br>
===Checking the Output===
The first thing to check is the output log that is written in the dialog window. At the bottom, the log should specify whether any errors occured during conversion. If errors did occur, the tool should skip the problematic files/commands and continue with the conversion process. The tool will bail only if a more serious error occurs, for instance the tool was unable to determine the 'root' folder. Or alternatively if an unexpected error occurs then this can also cause the tool to finish early.<Br>
If errors did occur, then they should be reported in the log with more context. Users can copy the log (or save it) using the tool icons in the bottom right of the log window. Copying this text into a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) can be useful for searching for the keyword "ERROR" to track down these locations.<Br>
'''Checking the model'''<Br>
The tool will produce a "ready to run" model in TUFLOW most of the time. There may be situations where the user will be required to make small adjustments to the output to get the model to run. If you encounter a situation where this happens, feel free to contact [mailto:support@tuflow.com support@tuflow.com] and let us know what the issue was.<Br>
A known conversion issue could occur if the tool is converting both MIF and SHP files into a single format (e.g. GPKG) as the projection of these files may be interpreted slightly differently by GDAL (even though they are the same). Users may therefore be required to either use QGIS or GDAL to manually fix up the projection of the affected files, or add the TUFLOW command <tt>GIS Projeciton Check == WARNING</tt><Br>
===Python and the Soure Code===
