Features: This book is divided into two parts to demonstrate the implementation of intelligent parameter-driven components through the GDL parametric programming language. The first part introduces the concepts of the GDL language, the characteristics and types of GDL objects (intelligent parameter-driven components), with a focus on the writing of GDL language. It explains each instruction for generating geometric shapes, non-geometric instructions, expressions and functions, as well as control instructions, accompanied by targeted examples to enhance readers' understanding of the instructions. The second part discusses from an application perspective how to make full use of the GDL language to create parametric components. While explaining examples, it provides practical design concepts, precautions, and GDL editing techniques to help readers learn the GDL language more easily. The book is clear, progressive, and emphasizes fundamental concepts and their applications. It can serve as an introductory guide for general ArchiCAD users to create special components, as well as a reference for professionals to develop localized GDL components.
