Grid+ uses several file types to develop a grid for use in EFDC. The .gpp file is a Grid+ project file that saves all the files the user has loaded, including the actual grid (.gpp) and splines (.spl).  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 .gpp file. The annotation layers will be added to the display when the .gpp file is opened.

To load a Grid+ project file (*.gpp), the user should click the File menu and select Open Project (or use shortcut keys Ctrl+O), as shown in Figure 1. As a result, the Open form will pop up. Browse to the Grid+ project file and click the Open button, as shown in Figure 2. After clicking Open button, the Grid+ will load all files, such as the grid (.gpc), splines (*.spl), etc.

Another method of loading the Grid+ project file is to select the project file in the Window Explorer folder (LMC) and then drag and drop the file into the workspace of Grid+.
