MDL import and export

Model Description Language (MDL) is a CADMATIC format that describes 3D model objects in text format.

Plant Modeller can export and import MDL files (*.mdl), also files that have been exported from a third-party software. See MDL Files.

Plant Modeller can import encrypted xMDL files (*.xmdl) that have been generated from PCF data. The conversion is described in Import PCF.

Mappings for MDL import enables third-party object data to be mapped to CADMATIC object data, in case the objects have a different name, location, or orientation in the third-party software.
