When your line work splits into a "T" intersection, the script automatically places a tee fitting or a welded branch connection. If the branching line has a smaller diameter than the main header, it intelligently generates a reducing tee or inserts a concentric reducer. 4. Flanged and Welded Connection Styles

VBO Piping Pro is a professional-grade extension built specifically for Trimble SketchUp. It allows engineers, architects, and 3D modelers to generate complex piping assemblies effortlessly. By using centerlines as a guide, the plugin automatically places pipes, elbows, tees, and reducers according to industry-standard dimensions.
Create simple, low-polygon variations of complex valves for drafting phases, then swap them with high-detail assets right before final rendering.
Ideal for producing detailed 3D models for visualization or exporting to other engineering software. When your line work splits into a "T"

: 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 is a specialized script designed to automate the creation of pipes from edges within selected groups or components. Instead of manually modeling every pipe segment and fitting, VBO Piping Pro allows you to draw simple 3D line paths (skeleton models) and instantly turn them into full-featured 3D piping systems. Key capabilities include: Flanged and Welded Connection Styles To build an
You can double-click a piped branch to edit the underlying source lines, and the plugin will automatically update the 3D pipe geometry to match the new path.

Easily update existing pipe runs if the layout changes, without re-drawing from scratch. 3. Integrated 2D/3D Display Switching
