==Example Mapping Materials from _grd check==
This example will demonstrate visualising of the “Material” attribute. This check is necessary for the majority of models to ensure that land uses have been assigned appropriately. This is of particular importance where multiple 2d_mat layers have been read into the .tgc file using the <tt>Read GIS Mat == </tt> or <tt>Read Grid Mat == </tt>commands. It may also be necessary to ensure that a continuous row of cells has been achieved for features representing a flowpath through the study area, such as drains that have been modelled in 2D, or roads within urban areas.<br>
Select Properties by right clicking the relevant Layer within the Table of Contents.<br>

Select the following items within the Layer Properties:
<ol>
<li>Symbology
<li>Categories >> Unique Value
<li>Value Field >> Select the relevant field
<li>Add All Values
<li>Apply
<li>OK
</ol>

Selecting OK will revert back to the original Map Window where the Thematic Map symbology has been applied to the layer. The layer displays the colour-coding that has been applied to each cell within the _grd_check file making it much easier to differentiate between land uses. The grd_check file can then be reviewed by overlaying aerial photography or GIS mapping.<br>
