The "3skeng Pipe Tool" is rigorously tested in real-life scenarios, continuously improved, and optimized to handle even the largest and most complex pipeline and round ductwork designs.

The "Pipe Tool" offers two distinct modes tailored to different stages of piping design:

Conceptual mode
This mode enables quick and intuitive creation of conceptual pipeline models:

• Effortlessly generate and connect components like pipes, T-pieces, Y-pieces, reducers, and elbows with just a few mouse clicks.
• Access widely recognized standards, including ANSI, ASME, ISO EN, and JIS, for fast and accurate fitting dimension selection.
• Utilize features like magnetic points and a memory function to simplify alignment and component placement, streamlining the design process.

Detail mode
For precise and comprehensive 3D piping designs, this mode provides advanced tools:

• Access libraries with real-world component dimensions, which can be easily managed through the 3skeng client.
• Leverage the Auto-Pipe function to connect 3skeng components effortlessly, offering multiple configuration options to meet various design requirements.
• The Auto-Pipe function is available in both Conceptual Mode and Detail Mode, ensuring a smooth transition from high-level conceptual designs to detailed, market-accurate piping models.

By offering these two modes, the "Pipe Tool" empowers users to seamlessly evolve their designs from initial concepts to precise, professional-grade piping systems within SketchUp.

The following features support you in the design process:

Client: This control interface gives access to settings, materials and standards. Its context sensitivity optimizes your workflow.
Edit & rotate: Edit & rotate 3skeng element very easy.
Connect: Connect and duplicate single and multiple 3skeng elements.
Label: Add text labels to 3skeng elements in a comfortable way to express your ideas.
List: Selected 3skeng elements components are listed and summarized. This contents can be copied to generate bills of materials.
