How do I remove non-labeled problem reaches in Hydraulics with the Scenario Edit Tool?

The following are step-by-step instructions for removing non-labeled problem reaches in Hydraulics:

1.  Look in the log (flHydraulicsLog located in Scenario folder) and note any reaches (ReachID) that have multiple errors, and did not successfully complete processing.  An example with the Reach ID and errors in BOLD CAPS is provided below:

: -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 : ReachID: 202                  Core of Hydraulics
: -----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Open the Attribute Table for the ChosenReaches layer.

3. Search for the reach using the ArcID and highlight/select the problem reach.

4. Right click on the line of the selected reach and select "Zoom to Selected" as seen below.

5. The map will now zoom into the reach selected.  Keep zooming out of the map to properly locate where the selected reach is on the map as a whole.  Keep in mind what the reach looks like.

6. Click on the Hazard menu, Scenario, Edit.

7. Once the Edit tool is available, zoom in to the area where the problem reach is located. 

8. Click on "Remove from selection" in the Edit tool and select the problem reach.  The reach selected will no longer be highlighted in light blue but will be highlighted in red. 

9. Click on "Save selection" in the Edit tool.

10. After the selection has been saved, the problem reach will appear in dark blue and will be excluded from the scenario.

11. Click "OK" in the Edit tool.

12. If the scenario is a riverine/coastal scenario, the Shoreline Characterization dialog will appear after edits are made to the scenario.  The original parameters that were set for the shoreline(s) are saved if shoreline(s) were  not added to or removed from the scenario.  Select the "Next" and "Finish" buttons if you do not wish to modify the existing parameters.

13. The scenario is now ready for re-starting Hydraulics (Riverine\Delineate Floodplain) for the ChosenReaches.  (Hydraulics will automatically rerun any reaches that did not successfully process in the previous run, skip any reaches that have been successfully processed, and will continue on the last reach processed).
