About this asset

This industrial-style technical ceiling MEP system for SketchUp features an exposed black metal grid with integrated ducting. This technical ceiling assembly comprises a structural grid of black metal framing, designed to expose mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. It includes a network of rigid and flexible conduits, along with integrated downlight housings spaced across the modular structure. The system presents a clean, utilitarian aesthetic, with clear junctions and piping runs that suggest a functional, open-plenum environment. The geometry is defined by sharp, linear profiles and industrial-grade connections, providing a realistic representation of exposed service systems suitable for contemporary commercial or industrial interior design projects.

The download is a 17.2 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 model functions as a modular component that can be easily scaled or tiled to fit larger ceiling voids. Users should place the assembly on a dedicated layer within their project file to manage visibility and performance. The components are grouped for simple manipulation, allowing for minor adjustments to the layout of the downlights or conduit routing. Materials are applied as standard textures, which can be easily swapped or adjusted in the native material editor for specific render-ready finishes.

This asset is ideal for high-end office fit-outs, industrial-style retail spaces, and creative studio environments where an exposed ceiling aesthetic is desired. It serves as a background element for interior visualisations, providing necessary technical depth to open-plan designs. Professionals can pair this system with polished concrete flooring and exposed brick walls to reinforce an industrial theme. It is particularly useful during the schematic design and design development stages to communicate complex ceiling service layouts to clients and contractors.
