Note: Kindle readers can and should purchase ePub files to read on their Kindle devices or via the Kindle app. As of August 2022, Amazon no longer supports mobi files.
This isn't just an update; it's an overhaul. We’ve optimized the codebase to ensure that generating thousands of meters of piping doesn't slow down your viewport. From auto-routing to collision detection, VBO Piping Pro handles the math so you can focus on the design.
: Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) or Outside Diameter (OD).
Total linear pipe length grouped by diameter and material type.
The v2.1.7 release brings crucial stability updates, better compatibility with recent SketchUp versions, and optimized multi-layer routing. It bridges the gap between SketchUp's user-friendly drafting interface and the strict, data-driven requirements of industrial piping design. Key Features and Capabilities 1. Instant Centerline Conversion vbo piping pro v217 sketchup plugin exclusive
is a powerful plugin for SketchUp that automates the creation of complex piping systems. It converts standard SketchUp lines into detailed 3D pipes, fittings, and assemblies with a few clicks. This extension is highly valued by mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, industrial designers, and architects. Key Features of VBO Piping Pro v2.1.7
Are you looking to integrate this tool with ?
Windows 10/11 (64-bit) or macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon via Rosetta/Native depending on SketchUp host settings). This isn't just an update; it's an overhaul
While v2.1.7 is a stable iteration of the second-generation engine, the developer has since released , which expanded capabilities to include full MEP systems like cable trays, ducts, and drainage. OS Compatibility : Best suited for Windows 10 or higher.
Developed by the VBO Solutions team (KCDA), VBO Piping Pro allows users to instantly convert 3D edge lines—drawn within SketchUp groups or components—into realistic pipes and intricate piping networks. What Makes VBO Piping Pro Exclusive?
Start by drawing the path of your piping system using basic SketchUp lines. Think of this as the centerline skeleton of your network. Ensure your lines are properly connected at vertices to allow the plugin to read continuous paths. Step 2: Selecting the Path and Setting Specifications : Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) or Outside Diameter (OD)
Highlight your centerline group and click the "Run" icon on the VBO toolbar. The plugin automatically generates the 3D geometry.
: The plugin automatically adds fittings like elbows and tees to vertices. The Fittings Edit Tool allows for manual rotation, replacement of specific fittings, or the addition of reduction bushes.
VBO Piping Pro v2.17 is a SketchUp plugin developed by VBO Extensions, a renowned company known for creating innovative solutions for AEC professionals. This plugin is designed to work seamlessly within the SketchUp environment, allowing users to create detailed pipe designs and estimates with unparalleled ease and accuracy.
