The properties of all map data that SMS displays on the screen can be controlled through the Map tab of the Display Options dialog. This dialog is opened by right-clicking on the 
Map Data entry in the Project Explorer and selecting the Display Options command. (It can also be accessed from the from the Display menu or the 
Display Options Macro.)
The exact layout of the Display Options dialog for feature objects depends on the active Coverage type. Some options are available on all coverages, while other options are only available on certain coverage types. The following options are available in the Display Options dialog. The entities associated with the map module with display options are shown below. Some of these entities also show an Options button to the right. For these entities, additional display controls are available. The available map display options include the following:
Feature Objects
The visibility of feature objects can be controlled in this section. The following options are available:
- Nodes
- Node IDs
- Refine Points
- Nodal Boundary Conditions
- Arcs
- Arc IDs
- Vertices
- Arc Boundary Conditions
- Polygon Fill
- Fill Colors
- Polygon IDs
- Legend
- Inactive Coverages
Polygons (fill)
Color fill the feature polygons. The display of the boundary of the polygons is controlled by displaying feature arcs.
- ID – Display the ID of the feature arcs.
- Polygon types – Polygon attributes may be displayed depending on the coverage.
- Show Materials / Mesh Type – Fill the polygons to display the materials assigned to the polygons or the mesh generation type assigned to each polygon.
- Material Opts – Set the display options of the materials.
Grid Frame
Set the display of the grid frame (Cartesian grid coverages only).
