Using SnakeGrid coordinate systems

SiteVision supports SnakeGrid coordinate systems that use the .DGF or .DAT datum grid file format.

To use a SnakeGrid coordinate system:

  1. Create the custom model.

  2. Place the custom model in the Geodata folder on your device's internal storage, with an extension of .dgf or .dat

    The Geodata folder can be found:

    • on Android devices, at \Internal shared storage\Android\data\com.trimble.sitevisionAR\files\Geodata; you may need to connect your device to a computer to browse to this location.

    • on iOS devices, in the Files app under Trimble SiteVision\Geodata.

  3. Using Trimble Business Center, create a project using the SnakeGrid coordinate system. When creating the SnakeGrid coordinate system in Coordinate System Manager, ensure its Name matches the File name.

  4. From the project, do one of the following:

    1. export your model using the SiteVisionAR export option.

    2. export a JXL file and name it with the same name as your model. Place it in the project folder in Trimble Connect alongside the model that uses SnakeGrid coordinate system.
