HEC-HMS Background Image

[Bakasan]

I have a image file (JPG). Is it possible to bring to HEC-HMS.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm not sure if I can ask this question, but I think HMS only supports georeferenced files (with X,Y coordinates).

Your bmp file is about some DEM? This is what your quetion is about? Is a raster model?

If so you can convert it into a shapefile and then upload it as a background image.

Give us some details and will see if I can help you out.

Rodrigo.

Thanks for your reply. I am new user for HEC HMS.

I have a image file (JPG or BMP format), would you please tell me how I can convert to shap file, which will work for HEC-HMS background.

Regards,

Ok,

You'll need a GIS tool to do so. To convert to a shapefile. But, if your file has no coordinates, you may want to use a CAD tool to import your BMP file to a format HEC-HMS can read.
