CVLGrid Grid+ uses several files types to develop a grid for use in EFDC. The .CVP gpp file is a CVLGrid Grid+ project file and saves all the different files the user has loaded, including the actual grid (.CVLgpp), background maps (.JGW, .GEO), splines (.P2D). In addition, if the user has any overlays (e.g. shoreline files) or DTM (e.g. bathymetry XYZ data), the full path name is saved in the CVP gpp file, so those annotation layers will be added to the display when the CVP gpp file is opened.
Loading a Project File
To load a CVLGrid Grid+ project file (*.CVPgpp), the user should click Files button (
) on CVLGrid main form then select Load Project as shown in Figure 1 File menu then select Open Project (or use shortcut keys Ctrl+O), as shown in How to Load Projects and Grids. The user should browse to the CVLGrid Grid+ project file and then click the Open button, as shown in Figure 2 How to Load Projects and Grids. After clicking Open button, the CVLgrid Grid+ will load all files, such as the actual grid (.gpc, .CVLcvl) and background maps , as shown in Figure 3 How to Load Projects and Grids.
Another option is that the user can simply load CVLGrid the Grid+ project file by selecting the project file in the Window Explorer folder (LMC) then drag and drop the file into the workspace of CVLGrid.
