User:Jcreer/SMS 13.1 Changes

Changes to be made to each of the following articles when SMS 13.1 is in beta release.

General Features

Vector Display Options

See SMS:Vector_Display_Options#Origin

• "Relative to dataset" – Displays vector dataset arrows at or above the elevation of a selected dataset.
  • 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.

File Import Wizard Supported File Formats

See SMS:File Import Wizard

When reading in feature data, the following option is available:

• Cross section database – If a 1D hydraulic cross section is the active coverage, then this option appears. 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 entering 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.

See SMS:File Import Wizard Supported File Formats

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.

LIDAR

This option will require saving a *.las file after completing the File Import Wizard.

Field	Type	Required	Comments
X	Number	yes
Y	Number	yes
Z	Number	no	Point Zs are set to 0.0 if omitted

Models

HEC-RAS

New HEC-RAS 1D Export option. SMS:HEC-RAS

HEC-RAS 1D

SMS can export a HEC-RAS 1D model. This requires the following be available:

• 1D Hyd Centerline coverage with a defined centerline arc.
• 1D Hyd Cross Sections coverage with defined cross section arcs.

HEC-RAS Menu

The HEC-RAS menu is available when the 1D Module is the active module. The menu contains the following commands:

• Export HEC-RAS Project File
• Material Properties – Opens the HEC-RAS Material Properties dialog. In this dialog, a list of all materials defined in the Materials dialog will appear. Roughness can be assigned to each material.
• Model Control
