How to Do a Pipe Layout With a Sketchup on May 2. Filed under . You can follow any responses to this entry through the . Both comments and pings are currently closed. We drew the entire shop in sketchup first to plan the dc pipe layout. This user story comes from Mark Lessmueller at Daniel Company. It came in via the Tell us your story link on the Sketchup Go Green! Daniel Company has switched to Sketchup Pro for the drafting, design, analysis and construction of its air pollution control systems. Sketchup Pro has helped us visualize potential problems in 3. D, allowing us to find conflicts on the computer, rather than in the field. This prevents us from wasting material and resources and reduces our carbon footprint. In addition, we can share our drawings and models with anyone across the globe. SketchUp Plugin and Extension Store by SketchUcation provides free downloads of hundreds of SketchUp extensions and plugins. Wow, I like Sketchup, cause SketchUp is very helpful for my work.Google SketchUp actually helps you visualize constructing the project, while you make the project drawing. Because you can view the drawing in 360. I cannot reply to comments (no google plus). 1. Zip 'em up. 2. Change extension from zip to rbz. 3. Window → Preferences → Install Extension. button. 4. Select, hit Yes & then OK. You're done! If you have any. Edition : cet article date de 2007. J’ai depuis publié un article présentant les principaux forums de discussion consacrés à SketchUp. Je vous avais annoncé dans un article précédent que de nombreux experts anglophone. See if this will help you with what you are trying to do.. http:// Good luck, ethip On Sep 25, 4:25 pm, Aquitaine There is a ruby plugin called. Nel Web si trovano un cospicuo numero di plugin, a pagamento e non, per i più svariati ambiti. Note that since LibFredo6 5.2, the folders does not include the explicit version and is simply named Fredo6_FredoScale. This is to comply with the naming requirements of EWH. The standard SU Plugins root directories are. They can make suggestions directly on the drawings without having to resort to awkward phone conversations about “what change needs to be implemented where”. This simplicity allows our clients to ensure that there are no intersections with existing equipment onsite during modifications. Additionally, due to the low cost of Sketchup Pro (especially in comparison to similar products), we were able to install Sketchup Pro on virtually all of our engineering computers, rather than just the drafters’ machines. The ability for our engineers to do some of our drafting when the drawings are “bottlenecking” production has proven invaluable. We are about to begin start- up of the first system we created with Sketch. Up: a biological system where microorganisms digest the odorous pollutants. The system relies entirely on wastewater treatment plant products to feed the bacteria, rather than the typical method of spraying highly reactive neutralizing chemicals into the polluted airstream. The resultant waste of the bacteria can then be conveyed back into the wastewater treatment plant and treated via the microbes in that system. Sketch. Up model details. While the air pollution control system was originally conceived by the treatment plant's design consultant engineer, the actual odor control system manufacture was drafted, designed, analyzed, and constructed using Sketchup and Lay. Out. This includes an air conveyance system, hydraulic profiles, plumbing layouts, water control panels, two 1. Each of the 1. 2' Ø vessels was made in our shop in accordance to the Lay. Out files.) As the system is starting up, we are also planning to visualize this model in Google Earth. Water Control Cabinet Concept Model. This model was used to visualize the size of the water control cabinet, as well as feasibility. Each of the pieces of the ducting (which supplies fresh air to the building and captures the foul air) was modeled in Sketch. Up and then turned into a cut sheet. Our fiberglass duct, tank, and scrubber shop easily fabricated the individual pieces. Thanks to Sketchup, it is a lot easier to make sure that each piece will fit on a truck (sent from California to Virginia), rather than relying on 2. D drafting. Water Control Cabinet Construction Diagram. Illustrative table to show the flow diagram for the water control cabinet and estimate pressure losses. Since this was our first major project in Sketch. Up, most of it was created using the standard Sketch. Up tools. The plugins we did use were mostly custom modifications of plugins that were available for alteration. The Center. Point and Conetop plugins were used to help make pipe transitions and to align pipes. We modified the Mesh Additions and the Parametric scripts to create an “elbow tool”. The PVC piping in the water panels was created with a combination of native Sketch. Up tools, this “elbow tool” plugin and the Center. Point plugin. Air Pollution Control Biological Scrubber External Sump - For Construction Drawing. This layout drawing shows the more accurate renderings, the additional nozzles required, and the steps taken to create an FRP vessel for construction. Since this project, we have created multiple other air pollution control projects using Sketch. Up and Lay. Out. We’ve also used quite a few other freeware plugins. We’re big fans of Fredo. Chris Fullmer’s plugins). Fredo. Scale and Joint Push Pull have saved us on a number of more delicate projects, especially where we make a small apparatus and then need to show thickness in the ducting, or building our damper library. And Chris Fullmer's Shape Bender has helped out quite a bit for other jobs where nothing else seems to work. We’re now working to model some of our older existing projects in Sketch. Up and visualize them in Google Earth. Thanks for sharing your work, Mark! Posted by Chris Cronin, Sketch. Up Pro team. Permalink | Links to this post | I am trying to work up a new layout for my shop using Sketchup, and I am really close to where I want to be. However I am having difficulty with the dust control system layout. Every time I try to rotate a pipe segment, I get angles I do not want, say I want to rotate simply on the X axis, but I end up with rotation on Y and Z axis as well.. How do I constrain rotation of an object along a 2d plane so I can rotate a pipe a simple 9. Helper lines(red, green, Blue lines). The way i do pipes is in this way. I usually use the center line of the pipe. Then you put in a radius for it to follow. I'll put up another example in a minute. Then select the follow me tool and you use it in the same way as the push/pull tool only you follow the line and watch the magic happen. You can stop at any point as i showed you, but if you stop on a radius sometimes you can't keep going so i always stop on a strait run. That way i can make it longer if i need to. Attached Imageshere is my example of how the follow me tool will use any shape and follow it on any line. Here are some random shapes that i made and the one on the far right is one i just drew to show you that it really can be ANY shape. And the line that it will follow is kinda random also the last bend is not 9. Let me know if you have any more questions about sketchup. I have played with it for many hours and watched i don't know how many videos on it so i hope i can help. I also have the book Sketch up for dummies which is very good. I could look stuff up in there if you need help.
