FAQ
HF2 to DXF Conversion
What are HF2 files?
HF2 is a compact format for terrain height maps, which are rectangular grids where every cell holds an elevation. It was designed to replace uncompressed terrain formats such as HFF, TER, and BT, which take up a lot of disk space. Its distinctive feature is that the person saving the file chooses the vertical precision: a landscape for a game or visualization may be saved with coarse steps and a very small file, while surveying work can keep millimeters. The file may also be compressed with gzip, and in this form it is saved with the .hfz or .hf2.gz extension. The format is used in terrain generation and visualization software, where large landscapes have to be stored and exchanged efficiently.
What are DXF files?
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs. It supports 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings, and can be opened using a wide array of image processing programs.
