For high-pressure or industrial applications, the plugin can automatically insert flanges, gaskets, or weld gaps at specified intervals or connection points. This ensures that your 3D models accurately reflect real-world assembly constraints and spatial requirements. 5. Bill of Materials (BOM) Export

Because the plugin utilizes structured components, users can easily export accurate data reports. You can quickly count the exact number of elbows, tees, and total linear feet of pipe required for procurement. Clean Geometry

: Select any continuous line network and convert it into a 3D pipe run with a single click.

VBO Piping Pro plugin for SketchUp is an MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) tool designed to automate the creation of complex piping systems from simple edges. Version 2.1.7 (and newer versions like 3.x) allows users to generate pipes, conduits, and ducts with automatic fitting placement. Extension Warehouse 1. Key Features & Workflow Build Piping from Edges

While earlier versions of VBO Piping established the foundation, the v217 update introduces specific quality-of-life improvements that streamline the workflow for high-stakes engineering.

Download the 15-day free trial of VBO Piping Pro v217 today and experience the future of SketchUp piping design.

VBO Piping Pro is a comprehensive MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) extension for Trimble SketchUp

The primary value of VBO Piping Pro lies in its ability to transform 2D edges and vertices into 3D pipes and fittings instantly.

The is a premier automation extension designed specifically for architects, MEP engineers, and 3D designers who need to construct intricate, parametric mechanical pipe layouts directly inside Trimble SketchUp. Traditionally, building complex networks of pipelines, elbows, tees, and reductions using native SketchUp tools requires meticulous, manually drafted follow-me paths. This process is famously tedious and prone to revision bottlenecks.

VBO Piping Pro v217 is a specialized SketchUp extension developed by VBO Software. It is designed to automate and simplify the creation of 3D pipe networks, fittings, valves, and supports directly within the SketchUp environment. Unlike generic push-pull methods, this plugin uses intelligent routing algorithms and parametric components.

It provides advanced piping capabilities at a fraction of the cost of heavy industrial design suites.
