Vector Display Options

See SMS:Vector_Display_Options#Origin

  • Dataset – This button becomes active when the "Relative to dataset" option is used for the origin. Allows selecting which dataset in the Project Explorer to use.

File Import Wizard Supported File Formats

See SMS:File Import Wizard Supported File Formats and SMS:File Import Wizard

Feature Data

By default the active coverage is selected, but the user the can click on the coverage button and change which coverage to place the imported data.

If the user maps the Arc column, SMS will read either arc ID's or tags (same as how SMS reads in breaklines) and create arcs from the points.

When reading in feature data, the following option is available:

• Cross section database – If a 1D hydraulic cross section is the active coverage, then this option appears. If this is turned on, SMS will create a new database or add to the existing one if the coverage already uses one. Point properties for the cross-section database (such as thalweg, left bank, right bank) can also be mapped. The Options button in the spreadsheet allows entering in the keyword to look for in the CSV file. If SMS encounters an entry that does not match any of the keywords, it will automatically create a new point property. Distance along the cross-section can also be mapped. If this is not mapped, SMS will calculate the distance along the arc for the cross-section database.

LIDAR

This option will require saving a *.las file after completing the File Import Wizard.
