question about initiating pyemu.utils.PstFrom object for an unstructured grid

[DataGeoranger]

Hello!

I am trying to initiate PstFrom object for a modflow-usg model, and one input it requires is the spatial reference object that offered by pyemu.helpers.SpatialReference.from_namfile().

However, there was a note in the code documentation that SpatialReference only works for structured grids. Has anyone set up the PstFrom object for an unstructured grid? Any ideas or thoughts are much appreciated!

Hey @DataGeoranger - we have a new tool help with unstructured grid parameterization and post processing called pypestutils and we have blazed a trail using it with pstfrom. There is an example of using it with a quadtree mf6 model here. It has a pre-compiled Fortran lib that is staged for use with pip so just pip install pypestutils to get the installation locally. If you are not using mf6, you can still use ppu, but might take a little more effort (ppu is generic for pilot points). Hopefully that helps!

@jtwhite79 This is wonderful! Thank you for the tools, Jeremy!

I cant take much credit for ppu - that was mostly @doherty1234 and @mwtoews
