Hi paullee
I see that you are good of developing addons for free cad can you make extension for air duct, pipes and MEP equipment (mepcontent.com) with define of pipes or duct connection points and minimal clearance from object Like wall . Air duct and pipies to work Like this

Fortunately there are experienced developers here as I am just a python beginner There are some tools in Arch and the Dodo/Flamingo WB for pipes / plants though it seems not as polished as those you show.

Maybe you can open a separate thread and show more objects and workflow you want
Good luck !

I saw Dodo workbench but I think for Bim in the world is to get good visualization of tubes, pipes, hangers, support as show above is main priortyf for arhitect there is archicad, allplan are really good but revit Mep is too expensive and need plugins to be better on MEP filed.
Basicly rellay good 3d pipe, duct, support, hangers electrical with expose to python for calculation and checking ( 2d detailing can go with cad software ) framework would be life saver with custom library with equipment clearance

Re: MEP Support and Development
I am of the opinion that something like this can be created quickly and easily using freecad's on-board resources. here examples
