Map coverages can be used to generate other geometric data types in SMS such as meshes (unstructured grids), grids (Cartesian grid), Curvinlinear or boundary fitted grids, scatter sets and cross sections. This can be accomplished by right-clicking on a coverage of an appropriate type in the project explorer and selecting a convert command. These commands include:

  • Map → 2D Mesh
  • Map → 2D Grid
  • Map → Scatter
  • Map → Quadtree

In some cases, and historically, many of these functions are accessible by selecting the similar commands from the Feature Objects menu.
