Changes for SMS 13.2

General

The Bridge-Piers coverage and the Mesh Tools coverage are being moved to the Toolbox.

New features in "import tabular data as feature objects". See SMS:File_Import_Wizard#Mapping_Options

Option to create a new coverage for the feature objects during the import.
Option to connect all the points in the survey in the order of the data in the file into a single arc.

Option to use the arc nodes and vertices as elevations.
This means you don't have to create a scatter set and be concerned about triangulation of that set.
After extracting cross sections using a scatter set, vertices are added to the cross section to match what is in the database. The z values are copied to all points. (There isn't a new command for this, it is just part of extracting cross sections.)

New options for centerline arc types. See SMS:1D_Hyd_Centerline_Coverage

Arcs in the centerline coverage could previously be centerline, bank, or generic. Now they can be assigned to point property.
The arc type is set in the Arc Properties dialog. The combo box shows a list of all point properties that are found in the cross section databases that are associated with that centerline coverage.
New properties may also be added by using the "Edit arc types..." button. When extracting cross sections, if the option to generate point properties using a centerline coverage is chosen, point properties will be created at the locations where these arcs intersect the cross sections.

Option to create arcs in centerline coverage that match point properties when generating a centerline coverage

When using the feature to generate a centerline coverage from a cross section coverage (accessed by right-clicking the cross section coverage and selecting "Generate centerline coverage", the point properties can be used to create arcs in the centerline coverage.
If adjacent cross sections both have the specified point property, an arc will be created in the centerline coverage connecting the two points. This arc will then be assigned to be the same type as the point property type.
This command requires a cross section database and that the cross sections be in sequential order.

"Remove Long Arc Segments" function

Right click on the cross section coverage to access this command
Splits the arcs in the cross section coverage by deleting segments that are significantly longer than adjacent segments
SMS calculates the distance between vertices. If the length of a segment is at least 10 times greater than the adjacent segment, the vertex is converted to a node. After calculating the distances and converting to nodes, the arcs that do not have any vertices are deleted (these correspond to long segments between cross sections).
This should be done before extracting cross sections.
A centerline coverage is not necessary.

"Reverse Right -> Left Cross Sections"

Right click on the cross section coverage to access this command
Checks the order of all cross section arcs that intersect the associated centerline. If the XS arc intersects the centerline arc in a right to left direction (looking down stream), the arc direction is reversed.
This command only changes the feature data and the cross section database (if one exists) will not be updated to match.

"Remove invalid cross section segments"

Right click on the cross section coverage to access this command
Cross sections that do not cross the centerline are deleted
Cross sections that are not "functional" with respect to the centerline are trimmed to include only the portion of the cross section that intersects the centerline and is functional. In this case, functional implies that the cross section is getting monotonically farther away from the centerline as you trace the cross section in either direction from the centerline. The functionality of the cross section is determined by the closest point on the centerline to each individual point on the cross section.
This command requires that a centerline coverage be assigned to the cross section coverage.
The cross section database (if one exists) will not be updated to match.

"Reproject cross sections"

Right click on the cross section coverage to access this command
This automatically runs the reverse direction command and the command to remove invalid cross section segments.
Each cross section arcs is projected to a line that intersects the centerline arc perpendicular to that arc at the same location the cross section arc intersects the centerline arc. Each point on the cross section arc is projected to the perpendicular intersector in the direction of the centerline closest to that point. (Note: this is not always the intersection point/direction).
If a cross section database exists, it will be out of date after executing this command
A centerline coverage must be assigned to the cross section coverage for this feature.
