GDL-object
A Geometric Description Language (GDL) object is a design tool used to present the product in 3D format in the design application.
The designer can use the GDL objects with the ArchiCAD software package, but the objects are compatible with several other international design applications as well. A GDL object, whose appearance is very similar to that of the actual product, helps the designer to create visualisations. Also, product and quantity calculations can be added to the object.
The Concertto façade system material is converted into GDL objects in co-operation with Building Information Ltd. The objects function as design tools. To facilitate design work, they are coded with automated functions for dimensioning and design of the structure and skeleton. The designer can be creative and compile the façade from different Concertto product alternatives, also comparing model and colour options.
The GDL objects of the Concertto facade system can be loaded from the link at the bottom of the page or from the RT-CAD image database of the Building Information Group, at www.rakennustieto.fi/kirjastot. To facilitate the use of the GDL objects, separate operation instructions are available.
