System Components Infill Panels The 2 x 2 pre-formed polycarbonate panels fit easily into the narrow-profile DONN Brand TOPO Suspension System. The panels are installed in a series of four-panel modules to create rolling 3-dimensional ceiling topographies. The smooth-surfaced panels are available in translucent white and opaque white. DONN Brand TOPO Suspension System The narrow-profile (9/16 wide) DONN Brand TOPO Suspension System is offered in flat white to complement panel finishes. The extruded aluminum suspension system can also be custom-painted. It features an integral clip on each cross-tee end, providing plug-in, positive-lock insertion for quick and easy installation without tools. TOPO Edge Trim The TOPO 3-Dimensional System can be finished with 2-1/4 -high trim in flat white or custom colors. Utility Circles Panels can be ordered with optional utility circles to integrate independently supported lighting and utilities. The 4 diameter utility circles can be positioned either at the high or low points of suspension system intersections, or centered on specific panels.

System Profiles The TOPO 3-Dimensional System is 5 inches from the top-most point to the bottom-most point. The system consists of pre-formed polycarbonate infill panels installed in a series of four-panel modules to create a rolling 3-dimensional ceiling topography. TOPO System TOPO System creates a smooth, gently rolling ceiling with clearly defined dimension and form. It is ideal for environments where subtle ceiling undulation is desired.

Design Rules Following are basic design rules covering the selection of TOPO 3-Dimensional System panels and the positioning of utility circles within the ceiling system. ighting and Utilities Utility Circles The Topo 3-D System is not designed to carry ceiling utilities. All lighting and utilities must be independently supported. The 4 -diameter TOPO utility circles may be positioned in three locations: At the intersection of two down cross tees. At the intersection of two up cross tees. In the center of TOPO infill panels. Utility Circle ocations (Viewed from Above) ow Points igh Points TOPO 3-Dimensional System

Design Tools The TOPO 3-Dimensional System can be designed using three interactive design tools: TOPO CAD Blocks, the TOPO Online Designer or the USG Design Wizard. TOPO CAD Blocks TOPO DXF Blocks offers designers a simple, time-saving means for creating TOPO 3-Dimensional System designs in most CAD systems. The blocks, which can be downloaded for free from the Online Tools section of the USG web site (www.usg.com), are compatible with nearly all CAD systems.
