Import HEC-RAS Channel
=========================

.. important:: A HEC-RAS channel is not necessary for modeling channels with FLO-2D.  Extensive channel modeling
               instructions are available for the |TrainingCourse|.


This tool imports RAS geometry into the FLO-2D GeoPackage.

2. The tool will import
   the project from the \*.g0\* geometry.

3. For FLO-2D,
   limit the cross sections to the bank stations.

4. The imported RAS
   channel is saved to the User Layers.

5. The user can edit the channel placement or cross sections so the
   channel will be schematized correctly.

6. See the `Schematize Channel Editor <../../widgets/schematized-channel-editor/Schematized%20Channel%20Editor.html>`__ in the FLO-2D
   Widgets section below for further instructions.
