Introduction

This page contains a brief introduction to the ArcGIS software. A number of ArcGIS tasks which are repeatedly used in creating a TUFLOW model are described below, each of these has a separate page. If you have any suggestions to be included in these pages, please add them to the discussion page. Please add ArcGIS Suggestions Here!.

Shapefile Naming Conventions

In these ArcGIS shapefiles different object types (points, lines and regions) are stored in separate files. When TUFLOW outputs in shapefile format, each file ends in:

  • _P to indicate a point file;
  • _L to indicate a line file; or
  • _R to indicate a region (polygon) file.

Basics

This section outlines some basic GIS functions that are regularly used in creating TUFLOW models using ArcGIS.

  1. Create a projection file for TUFLOW
  2. Toolbar customization
  3. Create a grid from points
  4. Convert raster to .asc format for direct read in TUFLOW
  5. Convert raster to .flt format for direct read in TUFLOW
