TT051: Advanced QGIS and TUFLOW Result Viewing

Overview

Recent user surveys indicate over 65% of TUFLOW modellers use QGIS as their model development and result viewing environment. The free QGIS TUFLOW plugin provides an excellent toolbox of functions to increase model build and result viewing efficiency.  This half day hands-on course teaches how to effectively use the latest tools native to QGIS 3 and the TUFLOW’s new GIS database format Geopackage. Advanced use and latest features of the free QGIS TUFLOW plugin (including the TUFLOW Viewer), such as new Processing Toolbar functions, exporting high quality animations and how to batch export flood maps, are also a focus of the course.
