3 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 To the ArchiCad software the objects are imported through the objects manager (Archive Objects Manager) (Picture 1). Picture 1. Importing MTH Concertto -object to ArchiCad through the objects library. 1

4 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 where one can also be registered as a user of MTH Concertto GDLobjects. Thanks to the registration the updates will be sent automatically to address given during the registration. Objects can also be sent directly by , please contact us at myynti@metehe.fi 2

6 dimension with the help of steplessly adjustable panel length. Horizontal installation is recommended to be used, when the horizontal dimension in the façade is determining. In that case MTH Concertto -sheets can be fitted to the horizontal dimension with the help of steplessly adjustable panel length Cutting A cutting to the sheet, for example for a window or a door, can be designed by activating Cutting-option. Dimensions of the cutting will be added in the Cutting-window. Picture 3. Settings-window of MTH Concertto -object Dimensions-window Panel size according to sheet s effective length When this option has been deactivated (Picture 4), the number of panels in one sheet (lengthwise) and the panel length (according to the limit values) can be filled in. These values will determine the sheet s effective length, which cannot exceed 3200 mm. 4

Dimensions-window of MTH Concertto -object, when Panel size according to sheet s effective length -option has been activated. When this option has been activated (Picture 5), the sheet s effective length and the number of panels in one sheet (lengthwise) can be filled in. The sheet s effective length cannot exceed 3200 mm. These values will determine the panel length, which has product specific limits. 5

8 Base flashing By activating this option, the base/plinth flashing will be present on the lower edge of the sheet. The angle and the dimension A can be adjusted with the help of the text boxes next to the picture. The colour can be chosen by using the colour lists.
