The Map Schema file delivered with Smart 3D out of the box is synchronized with the application tool metadata (Catalog Schema database). Publishing of user-customized changes such as properties, codelists, and so forth require modifications to the tool map and EF Schema files. Creating new SPMap objects for tool classes, interfaces, properties, codelists, codelist values, and so forth is not trivial. Users must very carefully follow the specific syntax used for various attributes such as UID, Name, and so on when creating SPMap objects in the tool map schema. Details about the syntax for UID and Name are described in the Data Transformation section of this document. Also, the Smart 3D admin user responsible for mapping must track all the incremental custom changes to the Catalog Schema to determine the properties, codelists, and so on that should be added to the tool map schema. The Metadata Adapter for Smart 3D makes the mapping experience easier.
