PVC add-on for Google Sketchup?
 

I've seen renderings from Sketchup that have pvc components...where can I get this add-on?

Many people, including myself, just draw their own componenents. There are also a bunch of good valves and stuff on the sketchup warehouse. The followme tool is what i use for elbows and such.

How do you get the curves just right though? I've always found that to be the hardest thing along with then making the straight sections go in the proper 3D angle so they touch the curve at the right angle.

I didn't download & check, but have you looked at their of these packages?

everything in sketchup is cumbersome... It is a 2D program that has been poorly leveraged to handle 3D objects. Hats off to those who have the patience to fiddle with it... The same amount of "effort" with a low end 2D or 3D CAD program will always provide much better (and faster) results.
