Preparing your own data

MCAS-S users may create projects using their own input data layers. Pre-processing using a proprietary GIS is usually required to ensure data meet the requirements for MCAS-S version 3.2.

The MCAS-S user guide is the best place to start. To download the user guide visit the MCAS-S tool web page.
