To use the ArcTUFLOW Toolbox you will first need to load the tool to the ArcToolbox. Open ArcMap and in the toolbox window pane, right click and select “add toolbox”.

Alternatively, the toolbox can be accessed via ArcCatalog. Open the ArcCatalog window pane and navigate to the location of ArcTUFLOW Toolbox (this may require you to 'connect folder' in order to navigate to the correct location).
