RAS Mapper is a window in HEC-RAS that allows you to preprocess 2D areas, map results, and manage background images. In future versions of HEC-RAS, RAS Mapper will become more and more prevalent in our HEC-RAS modeling experience. As I understand it, eventually RAS Mapper and the geometry editor window may merge to form the […]
Let’s say you have a digital terrain model of the area you want to model with 2D HEC-RAS. ONLY 2D RAS. In other words, you want to lay out a grid, but do not want to have do to any 1D computations-all 2D. The problem is the area you want to model includes one or […]
HEC-RAS 5.0 now provides a tool for quickly re-projecting model geometry within RAS. It is accessible from the main RAS interface under the Options menu…Convert Horizontal Coordinate Systems. From this window, the user must select the Current Project Spatial Reference System and the Destination Project Spatial Reference System by loading the appropriate projection file (*.prj) […]
There are a lot of new features in Version 5.0. We’ve discussed quite a bit the new two-dimensional capabilities. But a real pleasant surprise for me was how great the new RAS Mapper is. I’m going to try to highlight some of these new Mapper features over the next few months, but in this post […]
