Introduction

This tool converts junctions on the downstream side of a network to outfall nodes as required by SWMM. This tool uses the "From node" and "To Node" fields to determine position in the network. Ensure that these fields are populated and up to date.
Note: It is recommended to use the Conduits - Assign Node Fields tool and the Integrity - Make Node Names Unique tool to avoid errors when running the simulation.

Usage

This tool, Junctions - Downstream junctions to outfalls, can be found in the QGIS processing toolbox panel under 'TUFLOW > SWMM'. To open the Processing Toolbox Panel, navigate to 'Processing' in the menubar and select 'Toolbox'.
