Supported File Formats
SPIP has unparalleled support for a
wide and constantly increasing number of topographic file formats. A partial list is shown below. Please contact
us if you have an SPM with a file format that is not listed. By utilizing SPIP's "Heuristic
File Importer" there is a good chance that SPIP
will read your unique file format even though it may not have been explicitly programmed to do so.
