RAS GIS files can be imported in many other CAD and GIS-based programs for floodplain mapping. Your project must be complete with one of the water surface profiles computed before you can export. Exporting must be performed from the Plan tab.<\/p>\n<h2>What Gets Exported<\/h2>\n<p>Note that RAS GIS export files do not contain all of the cross-section&#8217;s geometric data. Rather they only contain the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2D Coordinates of the Stream or Reach Network.<\/li>\n<li>2D Coordinates of the Cutline for each Cross-section including Reach Lengths and locations of the Overbanks.<\/li>\n<li>2D coordinates of a Bounding Polygon of the computed water surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also note that only the current flow profile is exported.
