1 IMPORTING GDL-OBJECT
A GDL (Geometric Discription Language) -object is a design tool used to present the product
in 3D format in the design software. A GDL-object, whose appearance is very similar to that
of the actual product, helps the designer in making visualizations. 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. In the AutoCad software GDL-objects
can be used with the help of the GDL-adapter, which can be downloaded at
www.mad.fi/mad/gdladapter.html. To the ArchiCad software the objects are imported
through the objects manager (Archive – Objects – Manager) (Picture 1).

GDL-object
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 MTH Concertto product alternatives,
also comparing model and colour options. The MTH Concertto object library consists of
three different objects, which are MTH Concertto, MTH Concertto Corner and MTH Concertto Flashing. MTH Concertto -object is based on facade sheets, MTH Concertto Corner on
corner pieces made from the facade sheets and MTH Concertto Flashing on corner flashings
used instead of corner pieces. Objects can be downloaded free of charge from our Web site
at www.concertto.com, where one can also be registered as a user of MTH Concertto GDLobjects. Thanks to the registration the updates will be sent automatically to e-mail address
given during the registration. Objects can also be sent directly by e-mail, please contact us
