# How to add a Rain Gage node

On the **1D Urban Build tab**, initially confirm you are in **1D Urban selection mode** by ensuring the toggle is coloured blue.

Click the **Rain Gage** icon and it will be highlighted. Then on the **map** view, click the location you would like to add the Rain Gage. You can add the node anywhere - you will specify in your **Subcatchment** nodes which **Rain Gage** should be used.

The node will automatically be added to the **Nodes** tab of the **1D Urban Network panel**. As the **Multiple** checkbox is ticked by default, continue to click the map in more locations to add multiple Rain Gage nodes. Click the **Rain Gage** icon again to de-select when you have finished adding the nodes.
