Name : Attila Babits E-mail : [email protected] MIME media type name : Model MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree - vnd.gs.gdl Required parameters : none Optional parameters : none Encoding considerations : The GDL is a binary data which may contain one or more text tags. The GDL (Geometric Description Language) is Graphisoft's parametric object definition language. It is invented for ArchiCAD and used in many other applications. The GDL defines a 3D model, a 2D model, property data, a user interface and a parameter handler. All the above definitions can be parametric. A GDL object is a container for the GDL scripts, default parameters, optional binary data and additonal information (eg. a preview image). Material of this type must be suitably encoded when used on non-binary transports. Security considerations : The GDL type data does not contain any kind of executable code macro or batch) which runs on client machine. Interoperability considerations : None Published specification : The GDL (Geometric Description Language) is published as a parametric object definition language for ArchiCAD by Graphisoft (http://www.graphisoft.com). Applications which use this media : The 'GDL Object Web Plug-in' for Netscape and MS Internet Explorer - a browser extension that can be found at http://www.graphisoft.com/products/gdl_plugin Additional information : 1. Magic number(s) : 2. File extension(s) : gdl,gsm,win,dor,lmp,rsm,msm,ism 3. Macintosh file type code : TEXT,GSYM,WSYM,DSYM,LAMP,RSYM,MSYM,ISYM This mime-type is similar to the "model/vnd.gdl". The differences to the "model/vnd.gdl": There are not any availability for "ArchiCAD", "GDL Object Explorer", "GDL Object Adapter". This mime-type is dedicated for vendors (who want to sell their own library parts). Displaying of these files via GDL Object Web Plug-in is available, but the file formats are encrypted, and the saved document will not work with ArchiCAD and other products.
