To import GIS data into SMS, use the following steps:

1. Import GIS data.
Use the File \| Open... command to import GIS data files such as Shapefiles, MIF/MID files, Lidar files, or raster files. Alternatively, drag and drop the file into the Graphics Window in SMS.

2. Add properties.
Add database files (.dbf) to GIS layers using the Join Table to Layer* command. Define mapping properties. Manage GIS layers.

3. Convert data.
Interpolate data to scatter module, grid module, mesh module, or map coverage. Convert GIS data to feature contours, TINs, scatter set, or 2D grid.
