Stand Alone GDL Software

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a stand alone software that lets a user make and edit GDL objects? I experimented with the GDL Explorer, but that doesn't have any options to edit or make a GDL object (i.e. 2D script option, 3D script option, parameters, etc.)

Thanks.

ArchiCAD works also.

I've made a lot of GDL objects using ArchiCAD, but I didn't know if there was a cheap or free program that I could use at home (since Archicad is too expensive to have at home just to make GDL objects).

Thanks for the info.

Which one of these stand alone programs do you recommend and why?

Try also "Classical GDL" by Francesco Vinci

If it's scripting that you want to do I would go for the 3NF.

Also I havn't tried but but I would think a student version of ArchiCAD could make ojbects that could be used in the pro version.
