FAQ
PNT to RAD Conversion
What are PNT files?
PNT is the file of point features in the vector format of MiraMon, a geographic information system and remote sensing program developed in Catalonia by Xavier Pons. A point layer stores separate places on a map, such as wells, villages, survey marks, or measurement stations, each as a pair of coordinates, with an optional third coordinate for height. The descriptive data of the points, such as names, codes, and measured values, are kept in a database table in the DBF format, and a text file with the .rel extension describes the layer, including its coordinate system. Unlike the line and area layers of MiraMon, a point layer needs no file of nodes, because points do not connect to each other.
What are RAD files?
The RAD format is supported by a ray tracing application called Radiance, which contains several tools that support lighting simulation and measuring light levels. RAD files are often used in architectural project to design and evaluate lighting systems. Apart from lighting features, they can also save objects and materials, and they serve as input for OCT files that facilitate the scene rendering.
Can reaConverter convert PNT to RAD?
Yes! reaConverter instantly converts .pnt to .rad with perfect quality preservation. With its batch processing feature, you can convert multiple files at once in just a few clicks. You can even convert images directly from Windows Explorer using the right-click menu — fast and convenient.
What is reaConverter used for?
reaConverter is a Windows converter for 800+ formats, GIS data among them.
