This exposed ceiling MEP services grid for SketchUp features a comprehensive layout of industrial ductwork and conduits. This technical asset comprises a detailed arrangement of overhead mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services, designed for exposed ceiling applications. The model includes rectangular and circular ducting, multiple parallel conduit runs, and various junction connections, all rendered in a neutral grey finish. The geometry is clean, focusing on the functional routing of services typically found in industrial or contemporary commercial interiors. It provides a realistic representation of complex overhead infrastructure, including mounting brackets and pipe fittings, suitable for high-detail architectural visualisations where the ceiling plenum is left exposed.
The download is a 3.5 MB compressed archive containing the native SketchUp (.skp) model. It opens directly in SketchUp; for 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D, import it through a SketchUp importer or convert it first.
In SketchUp, this component is best utilised as a modular element for ceiling design. Users can import the model into their primary project file and align it with the ceiling grid or structural beam layout. Because the geometry is organized as a single assembly, scaling should be handled with caution to maintain the integrity of standard pipe and duct diameters. Applying custom materials to individual segments allows for differentiation between various service types, such as air supply, extraction, and electrical routing.

This asset is ideal for industrial-style office fit-outs, retail showrooms, and creative studio spaces where raw, exposed ceilings are a primary design feature. It is particularly useful during the technical design stage to demonstrate service coordination and spatial clearance. Architects and interior designers can use this to populate ceiling plans or 3D interior views, pairing it with industrial lighting fixtures or track systems to enhance the authenticity of the space. It serves as a valuable reference for realistic interior rendering workflows.
