When you digitize in the map module, elevations are assigned as with other digitization in SMS. That means that when you create a node, point, or vertex, it is assigned the default elevation value for digitization. The default elevation is initialized to 0.0. The default changes any time you specify a Z-value. Therefore, if you create a map point or node, and specify an elevation for that selected point, the value you specify is now the default value for newly digitized points, nodes and vertices. (Note: when you create mesh nodes, there is an option to ask for an elevation each time you create a node, but this option is not available for scatter vertices or map module objects.)

If you would like to digitize aspects of an image (*.tif, *.jpg, ...), simply load the image file into SMS and select the desired tool from the Map module tools (Create Feature Arc, Create Feature Point, etc.) and click over the part of the image that you would like to digitize.
