Has anyone used the VBO pipe pro plugin recently? I want to buy it, but with lack of response from the dev and notice saying it might not work in sketchup 2024(I have 2026 but not sure if the issues are resolved). Looking for a decent hvac/plumbing extention to speed up my workflow. I looked into 3s…

You could use profile builder and create an assembly for pipes.

It’s dead. [Screenshot_20251212_215054_YouTube] I made a set of low poly fittings to be used with it years ago, I could never get it to work consistently. Documentation for it is horrible. Do not buy it.

Ok thanks. Good to know. And that sucks. If i may ask, what do you use now? I’m currently doing vdc/bim for residential construction, and would love a quick hvac plugin.. I know I can use profile builder, which I do, but I was hoping for a plugin that can put in fittings/elbows/reducers, etc automat…

Maybe Medeek HVAC? SketchUp Extension Warehouse Your library of custom third-party extensions created to optimize your SketchUp workflow.

Thanks! yeah I use profile builder now. Just thinking there could be something that automatically adds the different pieces, like elbows reducers etc..

I mean that looks pretty good. I guess it’s just a gamble to get something that may reduce the time it takes to model using/ finding all the different fittings. I think I’ll try medeek HVAC like Herman suggested. And then potentially throw away some money to see if the VBO plugin works. I need to m…

Hey that’s pretty cool! Yeah the reason I need to model the hvac is because they usually just wing it after the fact, and often there are clashes, and next thing you know they have to drop the ceiling more, or put in unwanted bulkheads, which is unacceptable to most homeowners.

Indeed. It does happen, we avoided that with mini splits for some areas and floor trusses in others. But, that won’t always fix your issues. Note that Medeek HVAC is still in alpha, not a real release yet. Permanent license is thirty dollars US. He has plans to build a plumbing extension too. He’ll…
