import tool - Import external SWMM5 time series does not work for ICM InfoWorks or SWMM if the data file has a time series with the same name as a Raingage. As mentioned, you cannot import an external rain file in SWMM5 format if the external file has a station ID of the same name as a Raingage. The recourse is to edit the external file. The error message is a bit misleading as well.
Here is the error message: Rainfall Data: The [RAINGAGES] or [TIMESERIES] section is empty. If your model does not require this data, you can safely ignore this message. However, if your model does require this data, please ensure that the necessary information is provided.
Here is a small sample.- RG02 is also the name of a gage
