System Requirements
- Generates fully parametric pipes, fittings, and connectors directly in SketchUp.
- Supports run-based creation: draw a path and the plugin builds pipe segments, elbows, tees, reducers, flanges, and end caps automatically.
- Offers dynamic sizing by nominal diameter, wall thickness, and material presets (steel, PVC, copper, etc.).
- Maintains intelligent connections so changes to a run (length, slope, or diameter) propagate to attached fittings.
- Produces labelled annotations and schedules for export to 2D layouts or spreadsheets.
Users of older plugins complained about lag when modeling large skids with 1000+ fittings. The core engine of v217 has been rewritten in C++. Users report a 300% increase in viewport smoothness and virtually zero load time when opening the "Pipe Properties" dialog.
