1. Importing a centerline and cross sections.
To import centerline and cross section data:
  1. Create centerline and cross section data in a GIS file format.
  2. Use the File | Open command to import the GIS file containing the centerline and cross section data.
    • The centerline and cross sections will appear on separate map coverages.
2. Creating a centerline and cross sections from scratch.
1. Define centerline.
1. Importing centerline data.
Files containing a centerline arc and bank arcs can be imported into the Map module.
  1. Select File | Open to import the file data.
  2. Check that the data has been imported into the Map module.
  3. Check that the map coverage containing the arcs has been set to the 1D-Hyd Centerline type.
2. Creating a centerline arc.

Create a new coverage with the "1D-Hyd Centerline" type.
1. Create new coverage from scratch.
  1. Select Map Data in the Project Explorer and use the New Coverage right-click command.
  2. Use the New Coverage dialog to create a new coverage by selecting the desired coverage type, and naming the coverage.
2. Create new coverage from an existing coverage.
