Model Conversion Utility (swmm_to_gis.exe)
The swmm_to_gis.exe utility converts EPA SWMM files (.inp) to TUFLOW compatible GIS (mif and shp) format. The utility outputs include:

Utility Execution
The utility requires GIS projection information to correctly translate the SWMM file (.inp) from format to *mif or *.shp format. This is done by including either a projection or header file in the same folder directory as the SDF file. The utility will use the projection information from this file for the data conversion.

The following error message will be produced if projection information is not available:
ERROR - A Header.prj or Projection.prj file does not exist in folder
