FAQ
GGF to MTV 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 MTV files?
The MTV extension is associated with the MTV Ray Tracer, a piece of software created by Mark VandeWettering and currently discontinued. The software's ray tracing abilities allow it to display 3-D images in 2-D by tracing a path of light through pixels on an image surface. The MTV format uses a simple algorithm and design, and continues to be used for designing computer games and animations or in television and film production.
