5. Tutorial Ill Example Scenarios In this tutorial you will run through a few examples of how to create a series of scenarios which incorporate different assumptions about net immigration fertility rates and the siting and quantity of greenfield land released for new development These initial scenarios will be restricted to siting new development on greenfield land and will not incorporate redevelopment for the sake of clarity Setting Up The assumed starting point for this tutorial is that you have just entered MRSFF and selected in a history This tutorial will rely on the presence of at least one base scenario with the word fixed in its title having been pre created and available in the scenarios window For the purposes of this tutorial just think of the fixed scenario as ensuring that all variables which need initialisation are initialised You will also be called on to use views at various times These will are also assumed to be pre existing and available to the user A detailed section on using the views window is presented in the Views Actions section The views used here are basically scripts which simplify and automate data input and processing Building and Modifying Scenarios Step by Step 1 Select the starting point scenario Within MRSFF bring up the Scenarios window either by selecting it from the windows menu or keying ctrl r From the Scenarios window find the scenario fixed scenario off history1 and
