The HMR52 analysis tool is accessible from the toolbar as part of the the Image Edit toolbar.  Through right clicking on an empty portion of the HEC-MetVue toolbar area to bring up the toolbar layout options, the Image Edit tools must be enabled as shown in the following Figure.

When enabled, the HMR52 plugin should appear in the toolbar.

The HMR52 plugin has two tools:

  • The HMR configuration tool is accessed by pressing the button  on the toolbar. Like many tools in the HEC-MetVue program, the configuration tool is context sensitive and will be disabled (grayed out) when the current focus of HEC-MetVue is not a map Window.
  • The other tool provides an option for Auto-recompute, which recomputes the hypothetical storm when spatial and/or rotational edits are applied to the storm. This tool is also context sensitive and will only be enabled when the current focus of HEC-MetVue is a Map Window with a valid HMR52 elliptical grid defined for the Map Window. 

Caution: When working with an HMR52 elliptical grid, the only Image Edit tools that should be used are the translate and rotate tools. Avoid using the scaling tool or modifying the measurement values of the TIN directly.
