Pro V217 Sketchup Plugin - Vbo Piping

Embeds quick visibility controls mapped to native system tags ( 8_mep_piping2D and 8_mep_piping3D ). This permits drafting in lightweight 2D views and converting them to full 3D layouts when preparing final renders or construction documents. Pre-Built Material and Channel Collections

If you want, I can:

: Select all the raw layout lines and group them together ( Right-Click -> Make Group ). This protects your structural geometry from sticking to adjacent architectural walls or columns. vbo piping pro v217 sketchup plugin

VBO Piping Pro is a dedicated piping and ductwork generation module that runs natively within Trimble SketchUp. Unlike generic modeling extensions, this tool is purpose-built for MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) workflows. At its core, the plugin works by scanning selected groups or components—identifying every internal edge and vertex—and automatically converting those edges into 3D pipes while placing appropriate fittings at each vertex and intersection.

: A specialized tool that allows you to manually rotate fittings, replace them with components like ball valves or flanges, and add or replace "reduce bushes". 2D/3D Toggle Embeds quick visibility controls mapped to native system

Built for industrial chemical transport and underground utilities.

: If you haven’t already, download and install SketchUp on your computer. Ensure you have the latest version for optimal compatibility. This protects your structural geometry from sticking to

In the world of 3D modeling and BIM (Building Information Modeling), SketchUp has long been celebrated for its intuitive interface and architectural prowess. However, when it comes to MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) engineering—specifically complex piping networks—native SketchUp often falls short. Enter , the latest iteration of a game-changing extension that transforms SketchUp into a full-fledged piping design powerhouse.

The v217 update isn't just a minor bug fix; it introduces robust capabilities that professionals demand.
