This powerful tool runs directly inside Trimble SketchUp. It helps you instantly turn simple line drawings into full 3D pipe branches and fittings. Drawing complex 3D pipe paths by hand takes hours, but this extension automates the entire process.

The is a highly efficient extension designed by VBO Solutions running within Trimble SketchUp. This powerful script automates the complex task of creating 3D pipe systems and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) layouts directly from simple edge paths. By instantly turning wireframe lines into detailed, dimensionally accurate pipes and adding complex fittings to vertices, it drastically reduces drafting time for architects, engineers, and 3D modelers.

: Quickly convert all internal edges within selected groups or components into 3D pipes.

VBO Piping Pro V2.1.7 is an impressive update that extends compatibility to SketchUp 2025 and introduces valuable refinements to an already powerful pipeline modeling tool. While it's not without its quirks—stability issues and documentation gaps remain—its affordability and automation capabilities make it a compelling choice for professionals looking to streamline their MEP workflow in SketchUp. With version 3.0 already announced to bring a more powerful engine and improved user guidance, the future of VBO Piping Pro looks promising. For now, V2.1.7 is a solid foundation that proves this small Vietnamese-developed tool punches well above its weight class in the SketchUp ecosystem.

VBO Piping Pro is a premium extension for SketchUp developed by VBO. It transforms standard SketchUp edges and lines into highly detailed, parametric 3D piping systems with a single click. Instead of manually drawing cylinders, sweeps, and complex elbow joints, users draw a simple wireframe path. The plugin then automatically wraps that path in realistic piping, complete with customizable components. What’s New in the v2.1.7 Update?

Script libraries are updated to maintain robust execution across multiple version directories.
