RORB Subcatchment Lat and Log from CatchmentSIM

[Reece Fraser]

Hi all

I'm trying to export a CatchmentSIM model to Storm Injector for use with RORB. However when I open the .catg file, the latitude and longitude coordinates for each sub-catchment are not correct.  I have tried using the same projection as CatchmentSIM, as well as exporting the data from CatchmentSIM in Latitude/Longitude format.

I would like to use multiple IFDs, based on my sub-catchments.  For this to work, and Storm Injector to work as intended, I need to populate hundreds of sub-catchment Lat/Long values. Is there a way to get StormInjector to correctly read in the proper Lat/Long coordinates for the file? 

Kind Regards

Hi Reece,

The RORB GE graphical interface is not designed to use real world coordinates and can overwrite the CatchmentSIM coordinates if you are not careful. I would try to open the catg file in RORB GE, immediately save it and then close RORB GE and see if that helps. You can also compare the coordinates in the catg file before and after opening in RORB GE to check the coordinates are correct.

The latest RORB script is also attached in case you don't have it already.

If this doesn't help, I might need to look at your files.

Regards,

Chris
