Common Conversion Issues

XPX Tool

There are different levels to the conversion messages. An Error will abort the Convert - XPSWMM model from XPX tool and therefore may not generate a convert_messages.gpkg. There will be a description of the error in the tools log. Both Warnings and Checks will not abort the conversion process, and they will both be reported in the convert_messages.gpkg and the tools log. A Warning is more severe then a Check, however both messages should be reviewed to determine the cause.
