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 VBO Piping Pro v217 SketchUp Plugin , the latest iteration of a game-changing extension that transforms SketchUp into a full-fledged piping design powerhouse. Use the "Auto Support" tool

Select a straight segment → VBO Menu > Insert Valve > Gate Valve → Class 150. The plugin automatically cuts the pipe and inserts the valve with flanges. Draw a polyline from Pump discharge to the tank nozzle

Click the VBO Settings cog → Set to "Industrial" → Pipe material: Stainless Steel (Schedule 10S).

For less than the cost of a single on-site change order, you can equip your SketchUp with industrial-grade piping capabilities. Whether you are routing a simple HVAC condensate line or designing a chemical process skid, VBO Piping Pro v217 is the tool that should be in every MEP modeler's arsenal.
