This ArcGIS toolbox uses the Sloping Local Base Level method (SLBL) to create a surface below a topography and converts the outputs for subsequent use in DAN3D
Save the toolbox ("pySLBL_v_2_1.tbx") on your computer. It can be downloaded from the "Releases" section in the column on the right-side of this page. Open ArcMap, open the Toolbox window and right-click to add a toolbox. In ArcGIS Pro, go to the catalog pane and right-click on Toolboxes to add the toolbox
The toolbox has been developed on ArcMap 10.8.1 and tested on ArcGIS Pro 2.8.0
There is no publication direclty describing this toolbox, but you may cite this Github repository: Nicolet, P. (2020): pySLBL, https://github.com/ngu/pySLBL
To cite the SLBL method itself, please refer to the reference section
