The '''Map → 2D Scatter Points''' command creates a  scatter point set from the points and nodes and vertices of the current  coverage.  The process is different for observation coverages and  non-observation coverages.

*'''Non-observation Coverages'''
::With non-observation coverages, a single elevation dataset is created for  the 2D scatter points representing the Z location of all the points, nodes and  vertices.
 
*'''Observation Coverages'''
::With observation coverages, the ''Observation Points →  Scatter Points'' dialog appears.  This dialog allows you to create a dataset for the 2D scatter points from one of the measurements associated with the  observation points.
 
 
== '''Measurement''' ==
 
A dataset is created for the 2D scatter points from the measurement selected  in the dialog.  The model associated with the selected measurement (if any) is  shown, along with whether the measurement is steady state or transient.
 
 
== '''Time Step Times''' ==
 
This section of the dialog is only available if the selected measurement is  transient.  It allows you to define the number of time steps, and the time step  times to be created for the scatter point dataset.
 
*'''Match all unique times'''
 
::The Match all unique times option gets the set of  unique times from the XY series of all the observation points.  This is the  union of all the times.  If some XY series use dates/times and others don’t,  this option won’t be available.  Otherwise, the times in the spreadsheet will be  displayed as either dates/times or relative times depending on the XY series.  The spreadsheet will not be editable.  The Use  dates/times toggle will be unavailable but set according to whether the  observation point XY series use dates/times or not.  The Reference time section will be unavailable, but if the XY  series use dates/times, the minimum time will be used as the reference time for  the scatter point dataset.
 
*'''Match time steps from model'''
 
::The Match time steps from model option will only be  available if the measurement is associated with a model, and the model is  transient.  If so, this will be the default choice and GMS will get the times to  display in the spreadsheet from the stress period and time step info for the  model.  The spreadsheet will not be editable.  The Use  dates/times toggle will be unavailable but set according to whether the  model uses dates/times or not.  The Reference time  section will be unavailable, but if the model uses dates/times, the model  reference time will be used as the reference time.
 
* '''Specify times'''
 
::The spreadsheet of times will be editable with this option and you can copy  and paste times from another program such as a spreasheet.  Also, the '''Initialize Times''' button becomes available allowing you to  bring up a dialog you can use to create times at a specified interval.  If you  select the Use dates/times toggle, the Reference time section will become available and the times in  the spreadsheets will be displayed as dates/times.
