Put "3skeng Pipe" to the test within a free 14 days trial period of the full version!

3skeng Pipe is an extension for the design and documentation of MEP and 3D piping and rectangular ductwork. It is part of the 3skeng engineering package that also contains 3skeng Mount, 3skeng Steelwork and 3skeng Channel.

But let's just tell you guys some more about the tools and features of 3skeng:

3skeng Pipe (conceptual mode)
All you need to model conceptual pipelines is integrated in this tool. Pipes, T-pieces, Y-pieces, reducers as well as elbows are generated and connected together in a smooth workflow with only few mouse-clicks. You have access to the most common standards (ANSI, ASME, ISO EN and JIS) and determine the dimensions of fittings with only a few clicks. Magnetic points and a memory function are powerful parts of the tool and assist you in the process.

3skeng Pipe (detail mode)
With just one switch you can convert 3skeng pipe to a tool working in the same intuitive way with detail library elements. 3skeng edit, connect, list and label can be used in the same way as in conceptual mode. Even a combination of detail and conceptual pipeline elements is possible.

The embedded auto-pipe function helps you to connect 3skeng components and allows you to select one of the possible configurations. Auto-Pipe is available for both conceptual and detail mode.

By the way, we added an improved handling of IFC-properties for 3skeng elements during edit and connect copy!

Libraries for 3skeng Pipe (detail mode)
Libraries with several ten thousand parts in metric and imperial sizes are available in the in-app store. Library parts are based on standards or on popular pipe & tube systems and are grouped by material. Manage your libraries within the 3skeng client.

3skeng Edit & Rotate
Edit and re-arrange your pipe, fitting and component arrangement. The edit tool is so intuitive that it nearly follows alone your ideas. Use magnetic points or the input of numeric values in a way you know this from SketchUp.

3skeng Connect
Move or copy segments of a pipe arrangement to a new location. Magnetic points will help you to connect the elements exact aligned to the pipe center. All elements will be aligned in the pipe direction, which helps you to generate and change models very fast. With the new feature "Multicopy", all selected elements stay glued to the mouse until you press “Escape”!

3skeng Label
This tool enables you to add multi-text and labels to 3skeng elements. Various adjustable parameters allow individual adaptations to the particular label task at hand. During the automated alignment you determine the position and distance of the labels.

3skeng List
Select parts of your model or the entire model and generate a list with detailed part information. You can easily transfer the list content via the clipboard to your own calculation sheets or bill of materials.
