Placing a tall cabinet doesn't render the parts correctly - Am I missing a setting?
Hi, My drafters brought this to my attention yesterday. When I place a cabinet and make it tall. The door should have a mid rail and two center panels. However it renders without the mid rail and just one large center panel (see below) The problem is
Where are my sides?
I am having trouble with one of my Spec groups. When I place a cabinet the result is a product that is missing the top , bottom, back and the drawer sides and bottom. When I opened the Parts List Review Those parts where not on the list. Also the placement
Add "Location" search to product list
I think it would be quite helpful to have a search bar above the Room (Location) tree in the product list. I often find myself clicking through categories searching for a specific room in our larger projects. And in large projects this can be slow as
Bay Width Calculator & Material Thickness Changes
Hey everyone, Curious how others handle interior bay division locations in multi-bay cabinets when sheet material thickness is calibrated after design right before processing. We model products using nominal panel sizes (0.75''). When the shop measures

MV Support Tech AI
I recently had a problem with the SMA and opened a ticket with microvellum support. I was connected to a live technician who called me and explained he did not know what the issue was and asked me to send over my work order and any pertinent info. However,
Feature Request - Better Project Archiving
A recent post has made me think about archiving and the way it works currently and I think it could be improved. The request obviously is in a way that would benefit us, not sure about how everyone else does it but I would hope it would benefit a lot
Feature Request - Add Tool Defaults to Processing Station nest tab
Can it be looked at to add the Tool Defaults to the nest tab of the processing station? How I see this working would take a couple of steps. First this would be a check box to enable alternate tool defaults from what would be set as default in the toolfile
Face Frame Internals
Can we get some actual development on the internals with face frame, all i can ever do is get close and its just never enough. There are no actual options to make something like this, along with getting face frame sizes and drawings etc. I cant be the
BricsCAD and draw order for new entities
been playing with BricsCAD and have found that when drawing one entity on top/front an existing entity that when selecting it chooses the first drawn and not the last drawn. In AutoCAD it chooses the last drawn first. I know there is SELECTIONCYCLING
Material file randomly changing data
Has anyone ever experienced the material file randomly changing data? For example, we have three rooms - kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. 3 completely different spec groups for each, all with independent components and all labelled as their relevant room.
Bumped out of place
Using the product bump command, it behaves in unpredictable ways. Is this a user error or software? I got wall panels I want to move against a gable end. Click bump command, select wall panel, select gable and it moves the panel over but also out front.
Feature Request - Highlight Product When Selected in Product Viewer
This has probably been requested before, but it would REALLY help to have a product highlight in model space when it is selected in the Product Viewer. Right now you can do that in Part Properties, which is really nice - especially when parts have generic
Customizing Wall Room Component
Before i start adjusting anything, i am looking for a bit more information. If i open the wall component thru the database explorer and add prompts and stuff to customize it better for what we need, will it get overwritten during a library update? If
Feature Request: Perfect Grain Toggle within Finished Faces Subassembly should look at material sizes
Within S!Finished_Faces: The method for checking weather or not to use perfect grain is slightly flawed. Sometimes we will use 5x8 or 5x10 sheets to nest the doors and drawers because of their sizes. There were occasional failures in this because of the
Uppers VS Lowers Default Construction
Is there an easy way to have different default construction between lowers and uppers? I'm having to manually change one or the other through individual product prompts. I could modify my project wizard to suit, but I'd rather not in case a library update
Microvellum Portal - Software Management Access (Unavailable?)
We’ve had reports that the Software Management section in the Microvellum Portal isn’t accessible for some users. We’ve looked into it, and it doesn’t appear to be widespread. If you’re running into this issue, send an email to [email protected], MV Palette Auto-hide
I notice when my MV palette is not in auto-hide mode, I need to double click for each command. When in auto-hide, only a single click is required. Seems to have just started doing this I'm using Microvellum AC. Any others experience this, or is this a
Microvellum Guru for hire

Anyone have a write up on publishing setups? Have a few setups, but yet to find one that allows me to use the replace page feature in Blue Beam without turning the page into mush at my wits end on this forced platform change Thanks Matthew

DRAWDIM Token

How to remove the 2D sketches being attached to the 3D Models?
Without having to keep hiding and unhiding layers, is there something I can turn off so that when i place a product, its not attaching every 2D plan/elevation to it? I dont need to see every drawer finished face and drawer box drawn to the face of my
Inner Drawer / Rollouts NOT Drawing in Elevation Views
I'm sure this has probably been covered / talked about (maybe not and if so ... duh!) - But INNER DRAWERS / Rollouts in FL the GLOBAL VAR is MISSPELLED and does NOT drawing the dashed/hidden RECTANGLE! The default MISSPELLED var is Elevation Hidded Drawer
Combining all sub-assemblies into one full asm
Hi, I just wanted to ask if there's a way to combine existing sub-assemblies into a single top-level (full) assembly. For example: Top/Full Assembly name :Box_Cust Sub-assemblies: Box_1_Side` Box_2_Front` Box_3_Top` Each of these sub-assemblies already
2D Token elevation formula is wrong
One of the tokens for the 2d dimensions is wrong. It appears to be a face frame vs not issue again, us face frame users usually measure from the face frame overall size because applied ends would sit behind. And in this particular unit i do have a applied
FEATURE REQUEST: Create a 4-sided cutout machine token with the option of radiused corners
This machine token would get so much use I believe, if we could do away with the bulge list for a simple 4 sided cutout it would allow a simple parametric machine operation rather than quite a long vector driven formula.

Any way to get Project Wizard Prompt into the server SQL File?
I have a custom prompt that doesn't affect anything, its mainly used for reports "Exterior Finish Type". The drafter can select something or custom write a new finish. I need to find a way to tell IT how to get that information from the SQL file, Projects->LinkID,

Plan and Elevation Report
Anyone create a plan and elevation report similar to what CabinetVision does? I am looking to streamline production and not having a drafter redo things on their redrawn plans and elevations could save some time. A little report with a plan, elevation

FEATURE REQUEST - Autocomplete suggestions for prompts and functions
