Now that the base models are in the watershed let's add some map layers:
From the HEC-WAT main window, from the Maps menu, click Add Map Layers, the Select Map to Add browser window opens.
Click Create Copy. Browse to the folder RussianRiver_Maps, select the following map layer:
Find the map layer which represents the Common Computation Points- RR_CommonComputationPoints.shp. These Common Computation Points represent the locations where models will hand off data during the simulation.
Click Open, the Select Map to Add browser closes and the HEC-WAT Schematic Map Window will display the added map layer.
The user can now make adjustments to the map layers. From the HEC-WAT main window, click the Maps tab.
From the Map Layers tree:
Right-click on the Stream Alignment layer, from the shortcut menu, click Move to Top.
Right-click on the Without Project Conditions layer, from the shortcut menu, click Move to Top.
Un-check the Raingages_Albers_ft.shp map layer (this will cause the map layer to no longer display in the active map window).
Right-click on the RussianRiverSA.shp map layer, from the shortcut menu, click Properties. The Edit Polygon Properties opens. From the Fill tab, change the color to "darkcyan", and adjust the Transparency. Click Apply to view the changes in the active map window. Click OK to close the Edit Polygon Properties dialog and keep the adjusted map layer properties.
The user can adjust the view of the study area in the active map window. Using the Zoom Tool, zoom the study area in the active map window to the appropriate area that the user would like displayed. From the HEC-WAT main window, from the Maps menu, click Default Map Properties, the Default Map Properties for dialog opens.
Click Set Map Extents to Display, click OK to close the Default Map Properties for dialog and set the extents for the Map Window so that when the study is opened the next time the Map Window will be zoomed in to the tighter area.
