What is a GMI file?

GMI files mostly belong to Game engine. The GMI file comes in two main forms:
  • Game Interface File: Used by many video games to handle in-game interfaces. They store UI elements such as menus, HUD layouts, and control mappings.
  • Gemini CAD Data File: Used in geospatial applications, particularly with systems like Gemini VA to manage CAD-related geospatial data.
  • Functionality:
    For the game interface variant, the file is processed by the game engine to display visual elements during play. The geospatial version is integrated into CAD software for mapping and design purposes. Opening these files typically requires the intended application; a generic text editor may show raw data but not the formatted interface or design.
    Usage Tips:
  • Open with the designated software (e.g., the game itself or Gemini VA for CAD data).
  • Always backup the file before attempting modifications.
  • Editing is best done with tools that understand the file’s structure.
  • How to open a GMI file

    You need a suitable software like Game engine to open a GMI file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your GMI file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a GMI file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
