Version 2.1.7 introduces incremental but valuable improvements. Reports from users highlight a more responsive “dynamic preview” mode, where the pipe geometry updates in real time as the centerline is dragged. Additionally, the plugin now exports better data for clash detection—a critical feature when coordinating with structural or HVAC models. VBO Piping | SketchUp Extension Warehouse For engineers
