SMS:Digitize

When digitizing in the map module, elevations are assigned as with other digitization in SMS. That means that when creating a node, point, or vertex, it is assigned the default elevation value for digitization. The default elevation is initialized to 0.0. The default changes any time the user specifies a Z-value. Therefore, if creating a map point or node, and specifying an elevation for that selected point, the value the user specifies is now the default value for newly digitized points, nodes and vertices. (Note: when creating mesh nodes, there is an option to ask for an elevation each time the user creates a node, but this option is not available for scatter vertices or map module objects.)

If the user would like to digitize aspects of an image (*.tif, *.jpg, ...), simply load the image file into SMS and select the desired tool from the Map module tools (Create Feature Arc, Create Feature Point, etc.) and click over the part of the image that the user would like to digitize.
