I would like to create an industrial ceiling for my project and don’t know where to begin. What is the best way to go about creating the ceiling?
That’s quite vague. Show at least an image of the kind of “industrial ceiling” you are thinking of.
What version of SketchUp? Complete your forum profile. That information will help us know what tools you have available for modeling this ceiling. Are you still using Windows 10 with an Intel graphics adaptor?
If you mean a commercial suspended ceiling, there is a Live Component in 3D Warehouse:
What does industrial ceiling mean?
I have Sketchup Pro 2025. The type of Industrial Ceiling I am attempting to create is one that includes support beams, HVAC, heating and cooling air ducts or air filtration systems, and lighting and electrical.
It is a ceiling with exposed components. The lighting, air ducts and support beams are exposed.
Thank you for your response. I will review the 3D Warehouse Component.
Put that in your forum profile!

Oh, so that component for a hung ceiling does the opposite: a hung ceiling hides all that stuff.
What are you having trouble with? Are you familiarized with any plugin for piping or for creating profiles and assemblies like profile builder? What level of detail do you need, the native follow me tool could be more than enough if you don’t need detailed joints for the pipes. Do you have a 2D plan of the ceiling or something where to start from?
