SkalaPipe

Water, wastewater, stormwater, drainage and cable pipes. Drawn in SketchUp.

A library, a manhole builder, a longitudinal profile and a trench.

Catalogue pipes, fittings and chambers. Editable profiles, terrain cover and clearance checks. Quantities can be exported, and the parts take an IFC classification.

Library in Skala Pipe: search by domain, manufacturer and material, then place the part in the model.

04

Longitudinal profile

What you get:
  • Pipes, terrain, manholes, Y-branches and stake points in the same profile.
  • Change the grade and the elevations of a run, and insert a breakpoint.
