SMS:Model Specific Coverages

Specific model coverage can be selected by right-clicking on the map module data in the Project Explorer and selecting Type | Models followed by selecting the model coverage; or by right-clicking on the Map Data item and selecting New Coverage command followed by using the New Coverage dialog.
