3skeng Datasheet
3skeng is a 3D engineering extension for Trimble SketchUp, continuously developed and improved
by software specialists to support their co-working engineers during their engineering projects.
3skeng enables fast initial designs and is able to apply changes in real-time during the design
process of piping, ventilation, steelwork and much more…
3skeng List Tool
3skeng List adds spreadsheet capabilities to SketchUp. Our brand-new extension allows you to
interact and work with SketchUp entities in data-based views. List, filter, sort and multi-edit. Create
a bill of materials, a parts list or a report and export it to Excel (.XLSX).
Work more efficiently with 3skeng List
Powerful and interactive filtering, sorting and editing features help you to work most efficiently even
in very large models. 3skeng List is not only helpful for editing element properties but also for
making both complex and large selections that might be impossible to make otherwise. The
spreadsheet view is always in sync with the 3D model. Changing data within 3skeng List (e.g.
coordinates or name properties) results in immediate changes in the SketchUp model and vice
versa! Sub-Selections are highlighted interactively in the 3D view.

3skeng List keeps your model clean
3skeng List was designed to support professionals in their everyday work. It is packed with features
that help to keep the model clean or find and solve errors. You can find duplicate entities, convert
multiple groups to components or replace multiple components with another component of the
selection. Round coordinates to the precision you prefer. Having a clean model is the foundation for
high quality results.

3skeng List exports your meta data
Of course, all spreadsheet views can be exported nicely formatted to Excel (.xlsx file format), or
copied as plain text directly to the clipboard. You can use the definition, instance, layer and material
names to add custom data columns to your components (by using the character "^" as separator in
the names). Save your filter and column settings in customized list views to reuse them for
repeating work. Tip: Referencing exported Excel spreadsheets in prepared Excel templates or in
Trimble Layout gives you a fluent workflow for fast and reliable report generation!

3skeng Pipe Tool
3skeng Pipe Tool using the 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 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 your customers in the process.
3skeng Pipe Tool using the detail mode with libraries
The detail mode brings 3D piping design to a completely new level. The access to detail mode
(switchable in the 3skeng client) allows you to use libraries with dimensions that are actually
available on the market. Detailed pipe libraries are available on the library page.
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.

3skeng Mount Tool
All you need to draw secondary/support steelwork models with proper fittings, supports and more.
A memory function assists you in the process. Available libraries allow you to choose from different
channel types.
The "Mount Tool" recognizes 3skeng Pipe elements and assists by a) proper pre-selection from
the available variety of pipe and duct clips and b) auto-alignment of rotation, position and
elevation simply by double-click.
The "Mount Tool" also recognizes 3skeng Steelwork elements to correctly attach supports to the
top of steel beam flanges and beam clamps to the side of steel beam flanges.
C-Channel O-Channel
Available libraries for 3skeng Mount:
- Threaded Rods & Pipe / Duct Support
- C-Channel
- O-Channel (Heavy Duty) (NEW 05/2017)
3skeng Steelwork Tool
All you need to draw Steelwork models with straight and chamfered segments. A memory function
assists in the process.
An extensive built-in library allows you to choose from many different standards from all over the
world.
3skeng Channel Tool
All you need to draw (conceptual) Channel (Ventilation) models is integrated in this tool.
Straight channels, t-pieces, reducers (also changeover to round for pipe tool) and elbows (round and
square) are generated and connected in a smooth workflow with only few mouse-clicks.
You can determine channel dimensions and lengths with only a few clicks. Magnetic points and a
memory function are powerful parts of the tool and assist in the process.

3skeng Shared Features
3skeng tools come with features that make it very easy to apply changes, add labels and create bills
of material (BOM).
3skeng Edit and Rotate
This tool helps you to modify the model in all feasible degrees of freedom. The speed of the tool
allows you show changes and suggestions live in meetings - without anyone losing interest!
The tool is intuitive in a way that nearly follows your ideas by itself. Use magnetic points for
reference or the input of numeric values in the familiar SketchUp way.
Works with 3skeng Pipe, Channel and Steelwork.
3skeng Connect
With this tool you can rearrange or copy already generated Pipeline elements. Magnetic points will
help you to connect the elements exactly aligned to the pipe center and direction.
With the feature "Multicopy", all selected elements stay glued to the mouse until you press “Escape”.
Works with 3skeng Pipe and Channel.
3skeng Label
This tool enables you to add text 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. Future
changes can be made in no time at all.
Works with all 3skeng elements.
3skeng List (tool-specific)
The List Tool received a major redevelopment and ended up being a powerful stand-alone tool that
bridges the gap between the two worlds of SketchUp and Excel and brings them together as one.
Pipe, Mount, Steelwork and Channel come with the List features for their (tool-specific) elements.
