Vector Display Options
See SMS:Vector_Display_Options#Origin

- Dataset – This button becomes active when the "Relative to dataset" option is used for the origin. Allows selecting which dataset in the Project Explorer to use.
Feature Data
By default the active coverage is selected, but the user the can click on the coverage button and change which coverage to place the imported data. If the user maps the "Arc" column, SMS will read either arc ID's or tags (same as how SMS reads in breaklines) and create arcs from the points.
If the selected coverage is a 1-D Hydraulic Cross-Sections coverage, there will be a check box in the Mapping section for creating a cross-section database from the information. If this is turned on, SMS will create a new database or add to the existing one if the coverage already uses one. Point properties for the cross-section database (such as thalweg, left bank, right bank) can also be mapped. The "Options" button in the spreadsheet allows the user to enter in the keyword to look for in the CSV file. If SMS encounters an entry that does not match any of the keywords, it will automatically create a new point property. Distance along the cross-section can also be mapped. If this is not mapped, SMS will calculate the distance along the arc for the cross-section database.
