Feature objects are used to provide some GIS-like capabilities within GMS. Feature objects include points, arcs, and polygons. Feature objects can be grouped into layers or [[GMS:Coverages|coverages]]. A set of coverages can be constructed representing a conceptual model of a groundwater modeling problem. This high level representation can be used to automatically generate numerical models such as MODFLOW and MT3DMS. Feature objects can also be used for automated mesh generation. | Feature objects are used to provide some GIS-like capabilities within GMS. Feature objects include points, arcs, and polygons.

Often, a project starts with an image then, on a coverage, the map module tools are used to create feature objects over the image to represent boundaries and structures. Then the feature objects are converted to other data types for further processing. | ||
