FAQ
ERR to GLB Conversion
What are ERR files?
ERR is a file that accompanies Canadian geoid models published by the Canadian Geodetic Survey of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). While a geoid file stores the height of the geoid above the reference ellipsoid, a file of this type stores the estimated uncertainty of those heights for the same area. It uses the BYN structure, with an 80-byte header and a regular grid of whole numbers, and normally shares its name with the geoid file it describes, for example CGG2013n83.err next to CGG2013n83.byn. Surveyors and geodesists use such grids to judge how reliable a height conversion from GNSS measurements is in a given location. The values are small, because they express the expected error of the model rather than a height.
What are GLB files?
GLB is a binary file format, which contains 3D models saved in GL Transmission Format, and is a standardized format to share 3D data. GLB format can be used for free and is mostly used in science and engineering for doing complex analyses of landscape and 3D modelling. A GLB format is supported by all major 3D modeling programs.
