SDF to Geodatabase

Description

Create geodatabase using information in HEC-RAS SDF file format. Database structure created by the tool is fixed. The following data structures are created:

Feature classes within feature dataset “RasResults”:

• ActiveWaterSurfaceExtents
• BankPoints
• BoundingPolygons
• Ice
• IneffectivePositions
• River2D
• ShearStress
• StorageAreas
• StreamPower
• Velocities
• WaterSurfaceExtents
• XSCutlines
• XSCutlines3D

Table:

• ProfileDefinition

If data are present in the sdf file, they will be imported into the feature classes, otherwise, the feature classes will be empty. Feature dataset will have the spatial reference provided to the tool.

Only those database structures that have data will be added to the map.

Output geodatabase must not exist – if it does, tool will provide an error message and exit.

Usage

Parameters

Direction	Type	Parameter Name	Data Type	Dialog Reference
Input	Required	Input SDF	File	SDF file to import.
Input	Required	Spatial Reference	Spatial Reference	Profile line feature class (3D representation of cross-sections). It must have required attributes correctly populated.
Input	Required	Target Folder	Folder	River feature class. It must have required attributes correctly populated.
Input	Required	Geodatabase Name	String	Surface that was used to create profile lines. This can be DEM, TIN, or a terrain surface.
Output	Derived	Output Geodatabase	DEFile	Name (including path) of the output sdf file that will be generated.
