[newbie] GDL + Web Control + XML

i'm doing a research about gdl and i saw the demo about the interaction with xml on the web plugin.

i see that it is possible to make a some sort of ui with html to manage data for 3d view.

is there some state of art of this use?

i only got some links on the graphisoft page but they didn't work well.

Can you elaborate a bit more on exactly what you are trying to achieve?

i want to link data from/to gdl objects and from/to xml of excel.

and i want to do it without opening archicad or excel.

could it be possible?

I don't know if this is possible.
GDL has capabilities of writing to and reading from files.
But that is available only within ArchiCAD.

I don't know if this will help with what you are doing, but:
If you right-click on the GDL symbol on your desktop or where ever you have it, you get properties tabs for Info & preview, Master script,2D script, 3D script, parameter script and summary.

Sorry i know a little bit, as we played with it for about a year. looking at integrating it into our sites.
However we gave up, as it is old hack now & there isn't any support for it. i don't even think they update.
