FAQ
GGF to IGES Conversion
What are GGF files?
GGF is the Trimble Grid File, a binary format that stores a geoid model as a regular grid of values. Geoid heights describe the separation between the reference ellipsoid used by GNSS receivers and mean sea level, so a GGF file lets Trimble field and office software convert ellipsoidal heights from satellite measurements into elevations above sea level. Each file represents one geoid model, such as a national or regional model, and the right file is chosen according to the geoid defined in the project's coordinate system. Files can be large, and Trimble Business Center offers to cut a smaller sub-grid for the survey area before sending a file to a field device.
What are IGES files?
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) is a widely used file format for exchanging 2D and 3D CAD data between different design and engineering software. It supports wireframe, surface, and solid models, making it a common standard in mechanical, aerospace, and automotive industries.
