Create network using shape and csv files

We start by creating the basic network (consisting of branches and nodes) using the "network_Branches.shp" shape file.

The fist thing we have to do is declare where the shape and csv files are located :

rootPath = r"D:\Workshop\data"

For this we will need to use a library called "SOBEKTutorialLibrary" in the "Libraries" folder of the toolbox. This is done by adding the following line (and running it).

from Libraries.SOBEKTutorialLibrary import *

This will make all the functions (because of the *) in the "SOBEKTutorialLibrary" library available for use. All these functions will now also appear in the code completion dialog (when you use ctrl + space).

In this library we have a function called "CreateNetworkFromBranchShapeFile" which we will use to create the basic network.

network = CreateNetworkFromBranchShapeFile(rootPath + r"\network_Branches.shp")

After running this line the  model is imported and added to the variable "hydroModel", but we can not see the model yet
