Inconsistent pre-processing of pour-points into Route_link.nc

[AlvaroBBuoro]

I established a list of 'pour_points' as gages, and pre-processed with success under reach_based routing option. Wrf-hydro runned but the output from frxst_pts.txt contained only a fraction of these pour-points.

Expected Behavior

I expected that all the pour_points would be flagged and tracked in the frxst_pts.txt

Current Behavior

I imported the Route_link.nc resulting from the pre-processing into ArcGis and plotted the results. I found out that only 57 of the 106 gages where flagged with the correct gages number passed in the pour_points list. AND the position of these where sometimes upstream of the position passed in the list (although still in the stream network )

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Generate a list of pour-points (i.e. 100 points)
2. run pre-processing in ArcGis under option channel routing
3. analyse the position of the gages reported at Route_link.nc
4. compare with the pour-points list and naming used

Your Environment

• Version of the code used: Pre-processing V5
• Operating System and version: Windows 10
• Compiler and version: none,, just the pre-processing generate this

This appears to be related to the ArcGIS pre-processor, not necessarily the WRF-Hydro code. You may log this issue here: https://github.com/NCAR/wrf_hydro_arcgis_preprocessor or email wrfhydro@ucar.edu for more direct support.
