Feature Request: Assign different colors for different Sheet Stock material to distinguish faces.
This would help out so much to assist with visual cues and catches. Also would help how its the part is going to face on the CNC bed. Different colors on each side of the face so we know know it will nest and render correctly based on materials.
Feature Request: Layer Controls Within Properties Panel
This would just be a real time saver, I think. Whenever I'm deep in the weeds and moving things I will quickly want to move things to a hidden layer or just a different layer, or when I draw quick guidelines I want those to be on a guides layer and will

Help! Product is in the Product Viewer and in Model Space But...
I've spent a week tweaking a set of uppers. Then today I went to redraw and they were just gone. So I close everything before saving and open it all back. The product is listed in Product Viewer, it shows in model space. But now when I prompt it, it is

Where can I adjust the reveal between drawer fronts in a drawer stack?
Usually in Product Prompt>Face Option setting the reveals here is all I need. But today I was dimensioning out a drawer stack and realized MV just decided only one reveal (between lowest two drawers) should be 5/32. Our shop standard is 3/32. Where can

Where would I go to create a toe kick return to the back wall?
One Upper With Four Doors?

Have no BSB 2025 or 2026 activations.
OK.... I downloaded BSB 2026. Couldn't register it, received an email from support to delete a few files so the 'activate license'' pop up would show. I enter my ID & password and I get activation failed. No remaining activations. So forget 2026 and go
Auto Unit Conversion In Microvellum/Innergy Design
In Microvellum & Innergy Design it would be nice to be able to use any unit type in any entry box and have it automatically convert it to the current unit, so if you are in Inches but you had a metric measurement for a feature you could input 127mm and
Adding Custom Door Profile
We typically run our profiled cabinet doors through a shaper/moulder/raised panel cutter. The only info i can find adding a custom profile for cab doors is through the MDF profile doors. Having to map out routers is insane, there has to be somewhere where

Hardware not appearing in subassemblies.
Hi team. Feel like I'm banging my head up against the wall here and have generally found support/help for Microvellum Bricscad to be pretty bloody poor. So, any help is appreciated. There are so many more hardware parts I can see, preloaded in the library

Draw Products Favorites Tab
I feel like I am spending more time than I'd like navigating through the draw MV products tabs and drop downs to find the products I use pretty regularly, seems like it wouldn't be all that difficult to have an additional tab on the left that you can
Can Anyone Explain MV's Reasoning for Prompt Paths?
As a fairly new user, one thing I'm still having a hard time with is that there are multiple menus to make changes to just about any single Part. Why isn't there a central location to effect all aspects of a part? For example, when I'm working on a drawer
5 piece door
Hi, I need to make a J handle and 45° splay on doors but they are made as a 5 piece. I have the finger pull option only on flat panel doors. Is there a workaround? It can be a visual only, that's okay. Not sure if I have something set up wrong but subtract
After a 3d Token is made, you need to create a separate 2d Draw token....Right?
This is how i always understood this, that if I went in and added a pocket route for a trash logo. Theres no knowledge or way the 2d elevation knows to draw this. So you also need to go and create a 2d draw token that follows the same formulas to get
Backsplashes going haywire
When adding a back splash to a countertop on a base sink counter, it extends past the countertop for some reason (in this specific case, it went 17.75" past what it was supposed to). I figured out that I could adjust it by adding an offset in the subassembly

BricsCAD and disappearing section dimensions
Anyone else using BricsCAD that when you draw your cabinet sections, you don't get the dimensions. When I save, close, and reopen the drawing, they are magically there. I really can't be saving, closing, and reopening my drawing every time I make a change

FEATURE REQUEST - Allow to escape when doing pick points.
A nice and simple addition would be the allow the user to press escape when doing pick points to cancel out of it. There is no way to stop pick points once it's started. If I have a formula in the prompt and accidentally double click it, I'm screwed.

Best Practices for Mistakes?
I don't know if it's just because I'm new to, not just Microvellum, but drafting altogether, but I make a LOT of mistakes. Every other computer program I have ever used has Undo (at east enough undos to get you out of a bind). But since Undo doesn't seem
