Arc Style Check Files

Introduction

This page introduces some ArcMap styles and concepts that are useful in viewing results files.

Symbology Mapping

Symbology mapping can be used to change the visualisation style of objects based on the attribute value. In the examples below, we will style a grid check file based on the Material ID (region object with unique values) and also a 1d_hydroprop file based on the conveyance.

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 Read GIS Mat == or Read Grid Mat == 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.
