      Thanks, Sebastian...
      From my initial tests it looks really good... πŸ‘
      Best thing is that the "3skeng Component List" and "3skeng Component Lable" tools are working with models build with previous version... πŸ˜„

      A question...
      Are we able to build our own component libraries, which will be a part of the 3skeng list?
      I/we use various kinds of flanges, valves, components from Danfoss Socla, Belimo and other vendors a lot...

      Cheers
      Kim Frederik

        Frederik,

        thanks for the positive feedback. The label and list tool was also very high ranked on our internal whish list and we use these functions a lot in our actual engineering projects.

        Further libraries will follow step by step. The 3skeng software architecture does currently not allow to upload own libraries in the database. The purchased libraries will be maintained automatically.

        However, you can place 3skeng detail connectors in your own components to make them 3skeng compatible.

        Regards, Sebastian

            Frederik,

            FYI: 3skeng now including a tool to generate rectangular ductwork. New libaries are also available since today.

              What happened to this plugin...?
              The web-site seem to be down and I haven't seen any updates for a long time... 😐

                They presented at Basecamp. So it's still alive and well.

                        Maybe Sebastian will stop by and give us an update. This plugin has huge potential.

                          They still seem to have some issues with the web-site, which seem to be down from time to time... 😐

                          I have an issue with the latest version (ver. 2.4.010)...
                          Although I'm going to contact their support directly, I want to know if anyone else have issues with this version...?

                          Cheers

                            the website 3skeng.com is up and running. I opened the website and everything is looking good. Can you please describe the difficulties you have?

                              Please note that I've also sent an e-mail direct to your support as well as to Ralf Schiessl... πŸ˜„

                              I don't have any issues when I enter this url: http://www.3skeng.com/en/index.htm
                              However, if I only enter http://www.3skeng.com I get the message that there's a problem loading the web-site and it can be caused by a firewall or proxy...

                                Just a quick update...

                                Got in contact with Ralf at the 3skeng support and things got sorted... πŸ˜„

                                For me the issue was related with the Internet connection at my office... πŸ€“
                                Don't know exactly what caused the issue, but when I tried with another Internet access, I was up running in no time... πŸ‘

                                The 3Skeng support certainly is brilliant... πŸ‘

                                  I too would like to know more about this plugin. Are the components in Imperial Units? What kind of components are available? I need imperial piping, motors, valves, transmitters, etc...Below is an example of process piping I did last week. It would have been much easier to do with this plugin.

                                      When I tried it there was only metric units so it was, unfortunately, of no use to me.
                                      I reallycould use it for my facility models.

                                        Hi Bob,

                                        if you activate "click here to add 3skeng libraries..." it will open a window which show you all available libraries. Imperial sizes are available for imperial C-PVC, imperial PFA, imperial Steel, imperial stainless steel, and imperial ductwork.

                                        Numerous imperial standards can be used in conceptual mode.

                                        Regards, Sebastian

                                          Sebastian,

                                          Could you please give us an update on this plugin. Your website is dated and doesn't give a hint of whether the plugin is still under development or not. As mentioned before, the component library is also very important to me (and others I'm sure).

                                          The potential for this plugin or a similar one is Huge. It would blow the expensive programs out of the water for conceptual drawings.

                                          Thank You,

                                          Paul

                                            thank you for your positive feedback. We also receive regular feedback from 3skeng users. Many additional libraries have been published in 2013 and further libraries will follow soon. We appreciate all user feedback very much which feed direct into the development process.

                                            You are right: the 3skeng website need some polishing. However, once the software is installed in run stabile and speed up the generation of engineering models remarkable. We currently invest in development of function and libraries. A new website and also a new setup process will follow.

                                            I have recently had to model an entire project using Revit and needed to model every single item that wasn't in the generic collection (pretty much all of them) and it took forever. With the libraries bought today I managed to model an entire plantroom in around an hour! Fantastic.
