Template:SMS Extract Features Workflow

1. Import raster images.
Raster data is imported into the GIS module in SMS. Use the Open command to import raster data files such as DEMs, KMZ files, and gridded elevation formats. Files can also be imported with the "drag and drop" option.

2. Create Area Property map coverage.

> 1. Create new coverage from scratch. Select Map Data in the Project Explorer and use the New Coverage right-click command. Use the New Coverage dialog to create a new coverage by selecting the desired coverage type, and naming the coverage. 2. Create new coverage from an existing coverage. Use the Duplicate command on an existing coverage. This will copy any feature objects on the coverage. Use the Rename command to give the coverage a new name. Change the coverage type. >
