Technical note

SIGDEM to STEP: what to expect from the conversion

SIGDEM is made of pixels and STEP is a geometry format, so the two describe shape in fundamentally different ways. Check the result before sending it downstream: what matters is whether the output contains usable geometry or a picture placed inside a STEP container.

Map Data Workflow

Turn GIS data into something anyone can open

Not everyone who needs to see SIGDEM data has GIS software. reaConverter renders it to STEP for a report, an email or a slide, and handles a whole folder in one run.

  • Render every file in a folder to STEP with the same size and settings
  • Set DPI and output dimensions before the run, not afterwards
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

reaConverter has been a huge time-saver for our team. We regularly work with CAD models in STEP format, and converting them to images or other file types used to be a hassle. With reaConverter, the process is fast, accurate, and incredibly easy to set up. The batch conversion feature is especially useful when handling large projects. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with STEP files on a regular basis.

FAQ

SIGDEM to STEP Conversion

What are SIGDEM files?

SIGDEM (Scaled Integer Gridded Digital Elevation Model) is a compact binary format for storing a grid of terrain heights. Instead of saving each height as a bulky decimal number, it records a whole number together with a scale and an offset, from which the true height is calculated, and this keeps the files small while retaining the accuracy needed for mapping work. A file of this type holds exactly one layer and begins with a short header that gives the position of the grid, the cell size, the scale factors, and the coordinate system, which is usually specified by its EPSG number. Files can also be packed with gzip or zip and keep the same extension in front. The format is open, and its specification is published on GitHub.

What are STEP files?

STEP file contains Standard for the Exchange of Product Data (ISO 10303). STEP format is a widely used by popular CAD software.
