Square off or Trim nest instead of using offcuts
We would like to have a way to square off a nest without trimming fully around an offcut. I'd like to not machine 4 sides of offcuts but rather trim the full length (or width) of the sheet. this helps avoid offcuts potentially being too short for future
Feature Request: 2D Tools and Partslist pallet - keep selected tool selected
Please allow the 2d Tools and Partslist tool selection to remain while the pallet stays open, and prevent it from jumping back to the top of the available tools list. I'm doing a bunch of manual routes and the selected tool is reset EVERY TIME, though
Drawer front adjusters override
Something seems to override the placement of the drawer front adjusters from the drawer front to the sub front of the drawer box. Hardware options in the subassemblies has the right formula (1/2 height). Any suggestions?
Feature Request: Determine part orientation / Machine point location in the smart layer prior to SMA
Our engineering team does a lot of custom products where we use SMA. We have determined with Microvellum support that the way vertical parts come in through SMA is random...I.E. the part orientation good side up switching facing back or forward, Machine
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.
Feature Request: Rough cut offset for Small Parts
We have an issue when cutting solid surface small parts that tends to be solved if we run a perimeter cut first just slightly larger than the part size. I know in our tool file we get the option when doing a multi-pass tool that you can offset the first
Feature Request: Small Part Spacing
We have determined that spacing out small parts enough that it is more than double the diameter of the border tool plus a 1/4" that the parts will not move. Currently we have to mostly do this by hand. I tend to use a different processing station to space
Feature Request: Make the Add Lead-out to polyline button work
This one is self-explanatory. There is a lead-out button on the Draw Part in 2D / machining ribbon that doesn't work and Microvellum asked me to make a feature request after noticing that it doesn't work.
Incorrect Sections
Dont' know why it's happening now all of a sudden in another room. The 3D model and 2D elevation correct but the 2D sections are missing key elements such as doors and shelves. I've drawn is kitchen several times now. In BSB 2025 it worked. Now redrawing
Occasional Weirdness When Nesting
Once in a while nested parts don't come out exactly as expected. Simple example: (Note the tool path reversal on the 4-sided cutout) I'm not aware of a Processing Station setting (Microvellum Nesting Optimizer) that would affect this, but to be honest,
Our XML based ordering 3D Rendering upgrade!
I though I'd share a link to our website that I've just updated with live 3D renderings for the products we sell online. Our website customers place orders through the site, which sends me an XML file that I upload into Microvellum that results in ZERO
Microvellum Support AI is not so bad
I spent half an hour chatting with the Microvellum Support AI and follow it's recommendations and in the end, it didn't work. It offered to move my case to a human agent but before that it as me to explain the issue again, along with all sorts of file

We Need "Actual" Perfect Grain
To whom it may concern, I have discovered what I believe to be a flaw in both the name and execution of "Perfect Grain" within Microvellum. I will try my best to articulate myself, but I may need to draw something to aid in someone's understanding. In
DRAWER SPACER HELP
I am using the plastic drawer spacers on inner drawers of a tall cabinet. My slide is a blum movento. I am getting 2 drwr spacers at the front and back. Would like to add maybe 1 or 2 more in between. Not sure where this is being controlled. F?, H? Subassembly?

2D generated wall doesn't match 3D model
Why does the 2D elevation not match the model? I've tried deleting and re-model but it still shows up incorrectly. Also, I accidentally modeled a cabinet instead of a wall panel so I "undo" the cabinet but it still shows up in the 2D elevation but not

2D Wall Doesn't match 3D model...sometime.
I have to say this is very frustrating. I've been trying to do shop drawings for a few simple wall panels and Microvellum just doesn't want to cooperate. I'm afraid once I get to the more complex part of the project, it'll just be a mess. I can't submit

Nesting Parts Overlapping
I keep getting these sorts of issues pop up, there are two pieces overlapped in that screenshot as well, 3 pieces total. Also have no idea if that error popping up is anything to do with it.
Edgeband Thickness
We use 0 thickness for our edging and premill the edging thickness at the machine. Can we fix the edging thickness to accept 0 for the thickness. Right now I type in 0.000, and you would think that would be the same as 0, but it isn't. If I don't, get
Zoomed WAY out
When I change views in model space Microvellum zooms out so far I lose sight of the drawing. Any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it? Change View gets zoomed way out The model is still there but I have to zoom back in every time. I have looked
Cut List Report for Solid Stock / Hardwood?
Has anyone or anyone made a cut list report for solid stock / hardwood. I know that the Face Frame kind of does this. And the Solid Stock Report(s) give you Linear Footage, Board Feet and Square Feet by solid stock type and width - Which is good for running
Hardcode drawer bottoms to grain the length
How do i brute force or hard code the drawer bottoms to have graining run along the length of the drawer box bottoms please? @Lenny Scianna @Latisha Dauby We never run it the other way and this is now the only hold up to me being
Dado Stop Gap setting in Solid Modeling Tools
The documentation says: Dado Stop Gap – This amount adds a gap to the front or back of the dado. The problem is when you have a vertical entity (a stud) which has a rib that runs horizontal midway through the vertical, the Dado Stop Gap setting is affecting

Scale text attribute not changing to match viewport in BricsCad
I have used a callout block in AutoCAD for many years, and when clicked, you can change the callout information and change whether the drawing is a section, plan, elevation, and so on. When drafting the scale attribute text changes when I change the scale,
Solid Modeling Tools - Can't move joints
We're trying to test out solid modeling tools/extruded product tool for the first time, but I'm running into a major issue while doing so. For some reason, the insert joint and move joint tools aren't doing anything in the solid modeling editor. They
Model exist but product view data is empty
Was about to edit the product number but can't seem to find the data - it all disappeared but he model can still be seen. These are simple wall panels. Anyone have had this happen and if so, know a fix? Trying to save hours of work.
Model base kick not in the right location
Why does the model not located in the right position despite the anchor points where set to the corner of the wall? MV models it to the right out of the entire assembly. I can bump the product into place but was wondering if there's something fundamentally
Best practice for associative machining between products
I have a cabinet that is 120" tall with a lower carcass @ 96" and an upper @ 24". I have a single door that spans both cabinets with 5 hinges total, 3 below, 2 above. If the upper and lower are listed as separate products, what is the best practice for associating the door machining with both of the cabinets. Note that I tried creating a product with both upper and lower carcass and the door, however, the upper and lower will ship separately so the shop wants them as separate items. Any thoughts
