1. Create a feature arcs, nodes and vertices.

In the map module, create feature objects in the active coverage.

Use the Create Feature Arc File:Create Feature Arc icon.bmp tool to create arcs in the map coverage.
Begin creating a new arc by clicking in the graphics window at either arc end. If clicking on an existing feature node, vertex or arc, the new arc will snap to that object.
Double-click or click the Enter key to terminate the arc.
Use the Create Feature Node File:Tool CreateVertices.GIF tool to create additional nodes alone or along arcs.

2. Modify feature objects.

Feature arcs, whether incorporated from boundary condition or material coverages or digitized often need to be edited after initial creation.

3. Create polygons.
Polygons are not created automatically when arcs are enclosed. To create polygons: Select arcs to be converted into polygons. Use the Build Polygons command to create polygons.

-:# Use the [[SMS:Map Module Tools|'''Create Feature Vertex''']] [[File:Create Feature Vertex icon.bmp]] tool to add vertices along arcs.
-:# Convert vertices to nodes to create more arcs.
-:# Convert extra nodes to vertices to merge arcs.
-:# Use the [[SMS:Map Module Tools|'''Select Feature Vertex''']] [[File:Select Feature Vertex icon.bmp]] tool and the [[SMS:Map Module Tools|'''Select Feature Node''']] [[Image:Select Feature Point or Node.bmp]] tool to move/edit existing arcs and refine the shape.
-:# Use the [[SMS:Map Module Tools|'''Select Feature Arc''']] [[File:Select Feature Arc icon.bmp]] tool to move entire arcs.
-:# Select multiple arcs to create arc groups.
-:# Use the [[SMS:Map Module Tools|'''Select Feature Arc Group''']] [[File:Select Feature Arc Group icon.bmp]] tool to select and adjust entire groups of arcs.
