Export Link and Structures Layers to Model is an internal HydroSWMM function which exports the current HydroSWMM model to an Albion Network Topology model. The function is automatically invoked by the program every time the HydroSWMM model changes. There is thus not a specific menu item to access this function (because the program does this automatically in the background). The user can therefore at all times access an Albion Network Topology model version of the HydroSWMM model via GIS > Network Topologies > Add/Remove/Configure Network. This special GIS version of the model, of which the links and structures are now logically connected (as in HydroSWMM), can further be manipulated and queried by using the powerful CAD/GIS functions available in the Albion environment.
