SMS:Feature Stamping Workflow

To build a feature stamp, use the following steps:

1. Create a feature stamp 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.

2. Create a centerline and feature objects.
Create a [[centerline arc. Create other feature points and arcs as needed.

3. Assign attributes.
Assign attributes to the centerline including: The elevation along the centerline. The cross sections along the centerline

4. Stamp the feature.
Use the Convert → Stamp Features ... command.
