Exporting Maximum Flood Contours Dialog

This dialog is used to export maximum depth contours from one or more simulations to a selected MapInfo or ESRI file format. It is displayed when an export option is selected from the Export maximum flood contours submenu.

Option Description
Sim

A drop target for one or more simulations that contains the results to be exported. You can:

  • Drag one or more simulations into the Sim box from the Explorer window.
  • Click to search for a simulation.

To clear the selection, click .

If you have selected any cloud simulations whose results have not been downloaded, a message is displayed informing you of this and asks if you would like to download the results now.

If you select Yes, the Download Cloud Results dialog is displayed, enabling you to choose which type of results you want to download. When downloaded, the results can be added to the Sim box.

Ground model TIN/Ground model grid

A drop target for a TIN or grid ground model, which provides elevation information. You can:

  • Drag a ground model into the Ground model TIN/Ground model grid box from the Explorer window.
  • Click to search for the ground model.
Note: Only a Gridded Ground Model can be used when exporting maximum flood contours using the ESRI ASCII grid files option.

To clear the selection, click .

Theme

A drop target for a theme that contains contour interval information. You can:

  • Drag the relavant theme into the Theme box from the Explorer window.
  • Click to search for a theme.

To clear the selection, click .

Export location The folder where the exported files will be saved. Either type in a path or choose the folder using the (Browse) button.
OK

Exports the maximum flood contours.

The names of the exported files will be the same as the name(s) of the simulation(s) with the following file extensions:

File Extension Type

MIF and MID

MapInfo MIF

DAT, ID, MAP, TAB

MapInfo TAB

DBF, SHP, SHX

ESRI Shape

ASC

ESRI ASCII Grid
Note: Existing files in the specified Export location folder, which have the same file names and extensions as the ones currently being exported, will be automatically overwritten during the export operation.
Cancel Cancels the export operation and closes the window.
