Solid Model Analyzer - Curved Parts
Solid Model Analyzer is a great tool, but It doesn't seem to handle curved parts very well. For now, I have just been dealing with it. Please see attached for an example. The part is a curved top plate of a die wall and I assigned it to be plywood. TheBuild 21.1.916.641
When using "edit multiple products" command it now defaults to edit Selected product Rows only. Not sure if there was a reason for this change but I would say if its to edit multiple products it should default to edit all products.Draw2DGlassFrameDoor
Does anyone know if there is a way to control the "frame width" that is drawn when using this token? It's nice that it draws the glass lines and the frame width, but I don't see a way to control it. It seems to default to 2.5". The only thing I canItem Number

How do I add a moulding in this case a custom cornice to the 'drawer room components' in the library. I want it t follow a polyline like the preset ones in the library. I've drawn the profile and added to library - mouldings directory. From here I can't seem to find how to include it so I can drawer it using MV.Rendering
I've been noticing that certain 2D objects like dimensions and text labels are showing through the floor on my renderings. Does anyone know how to fix this?Products on curved wall
Hi all. I have a room with a curved wall that I've created with a pline. When I place cabinets on this wall the fire way off in the distance and don't seem to have any wall association with the angle. What do we do with curved walls? Thanks!Renderings
Has anyone found certain rendering settings that work well for them? I struggle to get good lighting so I'd like to figure out some basic settings I could use for all of my drawings.Combo Box Hover
So we just had a toilet partition job that was ruined because of an annoying little "feature/bug" When in the prompts screen, we've discovered that you don't need to open a combo box to scroll between its options, you just need to have the mouse hoveredSetting to allow every product number to be unique
It would be great if there could be a setting that would force each product in a project or even a room to be unique. This would save confusion in the event that Toolbox creates two numbers the same which it always does on heavily reworked projects. There are ways to do this manually however this requires time and to remember to do it. A setting that would activate a check would be great.Lineweight for PDF's
Hey guys, I've recently updated from toolbox 2020 to 2021 and had to go through and adjust all my old settings again. I've become stuck trying to get my lines for printable PDF's after publishing to be thin as previously. I've tried a few things but nothingIcons for custom toolbar
Does anyone have any idea of where I can get some meaningful icons for the custom toolbar?Copying Items Between Rooms/Phases
Is there a way to copy products from one phase of a project to another? I put some products in a new phase of a drawing, and now I think I'd rather have them in the original phase of the drawing instead.Product Number Sizing
Could someone help me understand why the product numbers are showing up so small? I believe they are set to annotative.FEATURE REQUEST: Draw 2D Plan from Selected Products.
Currently, there is a command that allows you to DRAW 2D WALL(S) PLAN VIEW. This is a handy tool for those who like to have the 3D model separate from the 2D drawings within a drawing. The problem comes when you have products that aren't attached to aProduct Angle in the Workbook
Is there a way to pull the product rotation angle in the L! spreadsheet? Similarly to ITEMNUMBER or HeightAboveFloor system prompts.Title Block Revision Updates
Looking for help. Forgive me for my naiveness but I just not that Acad Savvy. I'm trying to figure out a way that all this Revision info is not visible on my drawings, but able to add a Rev Date/By as needed quickly to all of the drawings. Our current"FE" Tag
Having problems with my "FE" Tags. Even though I don't have the "Finished End Dimension" checked, the dimensions show up anyways. Does anyone know how or where to resolve this? They are coming in on a different Text Style. Does anyone know where this"PL" Tag
Where do I control the PL tag on the door. I want it to come in Annotative and on a different layer. So I don't have to change it everytime I drop in a cabinet.Can't double click text boxes when editing multiple product prompts
I don't see the ability to double click in a text box prompt to choose 2 points on the screen when I edit multiple product prompts. When I select "Access Selected Product Prompts", the typical looking Product Prompts screen is shown, but double clickingSolid analysed parts are now often twisted in the draw parts in 2d and in the nest.
Scince the update from 2019 -2020 Solid analysed parts are now often twisted in the draw parts in 2d and in the nest. Is there a solution for this or a setting that will prevent this? I continued using 2019 as I could not use 2020 because of this issueProducts drawn in 2D are all over the place but correct in 3D
Not really sure what I am doing wrong here. I have moved everything by referencing other cabinets (using bump products, MVMOVE, associating to wall, etc) and when I hit draw wall elevation these products go all over the place. I redraw them in 3D to makeall the models are broken
all the models are brokenQuestion - There is no way for machining on curved/bent parts to show in 3D, correct?
Example being if I want to route a groove in a curved part (as shown below), it will appear in the nest but not in the drawing. Just making sure this is still not a possibility, as it would help us out with our millwork walls tremendously if it was.2D drawing token elevations of face panels to match doors/drawers
I have added face panels to a project as they are the appliance panels we are shipping with a kitchen. When I am drawing elevations whether walls or products, those panels are not drawing like the doors and drawers. It is just a simple box. How can I2D Leg levelers
Hi, I would like to know if any of you found a way to have the correct view of the leg levelers? By default, there are 2 rectangles. I added the DRAWBLOCK but the rectangle is still there!! With DRAWBLOCK What I would likeThanks, Judy2D Wall Elevation Not working
This was working fine, now it is not. I have a simple Closet Drawn and wanted a 2d Elevation but the result is as attached and getting the dreadful "Unhandled exception" error also crashing Error.Streamline Process of Drawing Products from the Product List
The current process of drawing products from the Product List (Overdrive Pro) requires that you leave that interface, enter the Product Viewer interface, right-click on the desired product to draw, hover over two flyout menus, and click the desire option for the drawing. I realize that the current process offers more options than previous versions, but it now requires several more clicks than was necessary for those versions. Is there any way to streamline this process to make it less cumbersome?Remove Construction Holes when Drawing Sections
Is there a way to remove the construction holes in a 2D section without choosing the option of drawing it only with minimal machining and shelf holes? I'd like to keep the 3d drawing that I base everything off of with Full Machining but I can't figureSpecialty Angled Cabinet Help!!
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can properly build this cabinet; its angled at the back 45 degrees, and has an angled front door. I've tried using transitional cabinets, and it seems not to work for angling the back, only the front.Drawing in 2D adds chairs....
Okay this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen happen in my life. We needed to add a rear toe kick notch and the next thing I know we have two chairs hanging out on the drawing. We actually can't even process this job, due to these things I assume. HasDrawing Index Creation
Currently we utilize Sheet Set for managing our drawing layouts. It is phenomenal AutoCAD tool that gives us the ability to manage all of our information across multiple drawings really well. Microvellum has some of this by way of the user defined projectMinimize windows To reference drawing
I think this topic has been discussed but I am not finding it. It would be nice to have the ability to minimize any of the open Microvellum windows to reference the drawing. Another thought would be able to have the double click option within the wizardHow does HeightAboveFloor works?
Trying to do a custom product from scratch and I got to the part where I want to have it at a certain height. I added the HeightAboveFloor prompt which got me above the floor but not quite there. See below. How does this prompt work and how can you adjustcan't draw wardrobe
