2. Open an existing project or create a new project
3. Access the Catalog Pane: Click View, then click Catalog Pane
4. Right click on Folders, then click on Add Folder Connection
5. Choose a folder that lets you access the tools; ex: c:\path\to\pydro...
6. In the Catalog Pane, expand Folders and expand the new folder you just added
7. Navigate to the CSF/PRF toolbox; ex: c:\path\to\pydro...\csf_prf\src\csf_prf\CSF_PRF_Toolbox.pyt

   is added to the output folder to view the data like an ENC chart
9. Drag the maritime_layerfile.lyrx file into a map

Geotransformation

The S-57 to Geopackage conversion tools performs a geotransformation for objects where the field 'descrp' = 'New'. The transformation used is NAD 83 (2011) to WGS 84 (ITRF08). These objects will have the transformation noted in the 'transformed' field. Additional documentation on NAD83 to WGS84 can be found here: Choosing An Appropriate Transformation
