MOUSE PFS File Conversion Notes

MOUSE network data can be imported from MOUSE PFS files. The data is imported from the Urban Network Data (UND) file and the Hydrological File (HGF).

This section contains topics which detail the conversion carried out between MOUSE and InfoWorks when importing the UND and HGF file.

See the UND File Conversion and HGF File Conversion sections for further details.
