Feature Request: Option for Wall product elevation tokens
Please enable the MV System Prompts 'ELVNODIM' & 'ELVNOOUTLINE' on Room Component Wall products. Currently there is no way to disable to existing Elevation dims or product outline in order to replace it with custom tokens.Feature Request: Edit Walls with 'Edit Multiple Product Prompts'
It is difficult to adjust wall prompts once they are drawn. Making them accessible through the Edit Multiple Product Prompts command would be very helpful.Handle missing in section
Hi, I seem to have an issue from time to time where my handles will not show in my 2D sections. I have tried multiple stock handles and some copied ones. What am I missing? There seems to be drawing tokens attached and I've tried all options from the2d Plan View drawing
Is there a way to include the depth of the door in the plan view of a cabinet? when I draw a plan view it only outlines the carcass. Also I would like to include the complete thickness of wall (hatched). Does anyone know how to accomplish this as weFront to back equals formula
Does anyone know of a formula similar to the EQV formula that work in the depth of a product instead of the width?Solid Modeling Tools - Restoring Product with Supplemental Parts
it appears that there is a bug when restoring a product with supplemental parts in Solid Modeling Tools (see attached for error message). it will redraw the 3D product without the supplemental parts, but the product is not listed in the Tree View window.Part Drawings
Hey everyone, I'm rather new to MV and I've gone trough 30 hours of basic and intermediate training and I'm not sure this was covered, but is there an easy way to generate 2D part drawings off a cabinet model? Is there a report of command to create these?view cube keeps disappearing
when i am in the middle of drawing my view cube keeps disappearing and I have to go in to drawing Options and hit apply to make it show again a bit annoying has anyone else have this issue.SMA parts not converting right
Hello, do you guys have problems with SMA not converting the parts correctly. Some of them are right, some of them are only panels even as in 2d the machining is present, just wont generate right in 3d. So hoping is just a setting somewhere. Thanks.Spread sheet column headers not lining up.
Is there a way to fix this so the column headers line up properly above the data? ThanksMerging Spec Groups
So, long story short, when we started using MV we settled on 2 different spec groups for the 2 different sides of our company however after using it for a while I realised this wasn't the way to go about it as a lot of things are shared over the 2 specRefresh Item Number Tag Only
Would be great to have the facility of refreshing the product item number tag only once products renumbered through the product list rather than having to re-draw all products just to refresh the item number tag.Modify default MV hatches
Hi, where do you modify the hatches that MV uses for its sections? The one for particleboard is to light. I would like to change it or modify the scale. Thanks.Dimension layer help!
Hi all, I'm new to Microvellum (6 months in the software) and I've managed to change some configuration and can't figure out how to change it back. Previously when I would draw something the dimensions would automatically populate and then by hiding/unhidingHow Does Scribe carry through the projects from the Design Data
I took apart a product to understand scribe in MV and got very confused. Scribe is part of the X Y and Z origins, where if you add it, the editor moves your panel or part over by that much. But the size of the part seems to stay the same. Is "scribe"Offset elevation problem
Hi ! Just like the jointed image, when I do an elevation from a wall, my Toe kick and crown appears at a wrong place. It seems to be mirrored, or something like that. Their Item Name Pop-up below the drawing. I maked them with Extruded - Extruded MoldingsFEATURE REQUEST: Title Block Mass Update
There are times that information about a job (held in Project Properties and/or User Defined Project Properties) changes once we've begun drafting, and currently we have to go through and touch dozens (or in some cases hundreds) of rooms in order to updateCabinet Numbers are Missing
So earlier today as I was working, I mustve clicked buttons or something and lost all my cabinet numbers and measurements on the 2d and 3d Drawings...I checked the layers and multiply other options and couldnt find where to turn them back on. Can someoneTitle Block Takes 15 minutes to Update
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? It takes ~14-15 minutes to update the title blocks in my Microvellum drawing. Any idea why it takes so long? It has a Status Bar filling up Slowly on screen that says ‘UPDATE DRAWING’FEATURE REQUEST - Ability to use CAD when Project/Library Setup Is Open
It would be great to have the ability to move around in the CAD space when the Project/Library Setup window is open. It would be very useful to measure when dealing with new hardware so we don't have to close and open repeatedly when measuring holes forFEATURE REQUEST: Add Section_Plane_Cut_X, Y, Z System Variables
There are many products in the library that need a different cut section location by default. One particular product would be a 2 Door 2 Drawer base. The current cut plane for a section is 1/4" less than the mid-point of the product's width (unless youFEATURE REQUEST: Auto-Window Selection
It would be great if more of the selection windows (a quick one that comes to mind is Redraw Selected Products) would automatically switch to a window selection if an item is not selected with the first click. Instead, for a window selection you haveImprovements to section hatching
I have a few ideas for improving the results of the 2D sections of products. 1. For materials in the Sheet Stock and Solid Stock Libraries, allow the setting of a scale for a Custom Hatch Name. 2. Allow the modification of the hatches assigned to the2D drawings for the shop and clients
Still in my first year with MV and everyday I am getting better with the program. I struggle with the 2D drawings though. I am able to use the MV features to actually draw them and what not but not sure on the layouts, formats, what details to highlight, etc. I would love to see what other users are doing for drawings that they present to clients and what they look like going to the shop. I don't plan on copying anyone just interested in seeing so maybe I can learn better.Hidden Wall Options
It would be nice to have the built-in option for a “Hidden Wall” drawing type for walls that are under a countertop or something where a solid drawing line is not desired. I built it into an existing wall on a job but it will not let me save it as a global change.product viewer
how can i move my product from product list to product viewer ?Solid Modelling Tools - Change Part Thickness
When creating an extruded product in Solid Modelling Tools, each extruded part is assigned a material with a specific thickness. Typically drawings are made before receiving the sheetgoods. We draw the parts with their nominal material thickness. After receiving the sheetgoods, we would calibrate the material to get the actual thickness. How do you change the material thickness of an extruded part? Simply modifying the section drawing does not work. An error message pops up saying that the modifiedRotating a wall with cabinets on it
Hello, Just trying to find the "proper" technique to rotate a wall that had cabinets attached to it. During FD's, we realized the wall wasn't built quite as drawn. When you rotate the wall using the command found in modify room components, you get something like this: What am I missing? I have a few rooms like this and I'm trying not to dig in and do it the hard way. Thanks.How to adjust the Side Mount Runner Slide Gap?
I need to make an adjustment so that drawer boxes are automatically sized in cabinets such that the gap on each side (from outside of drawer box to inside of cabinet side) is 7/32 or a total of 7/16. Please help, I have searched and found nothing.Manipulate secction dim style and call out?
The sections generated by Microvellum do not match what we submit . How do I change the dimstyle of the sections? I would also like to change the section detail block to the one we use to submit drawings. At this point when sections are generated we have to go back and change dimstyles for all section dimensions and replace all section detail callouts. In the photo attached the smaller dim is what I need and the larger one is what is generated through microvellum. The larger detail is what I needSection Drawings as Blocks
I recently updated my version of MV and my section views are now being generated as a block. When I explode the block to adjust dimensions, add hardware, ect, the dimensions, associated hatching, and every other component break down into individual lines. Is anyone else experiencing this?Mirror Room?
What are you guys doing to Mirror a room? I know others are running into this, say on a typical and similar kitchens, exam rooms, etc. I notice that there is no mirror room, only mirror product. once and a while I use it and it works right, other times the results are funky. But, that could have been old versions. I just tried it in the latest beta and it failed. I'm not sure if it only worked on 2D drawings?Ridiculously increasing file sizes in OEM builds 20.1.XXXX
Anybody else experiencing extremely large file sizes on any Toolbox OEM builds 20.1 .XXXX? I have a support ticket for this, but I can't believe it hasn't been addressed yet..,, Which makes me wonder about other users' experience... How I've been testing this is... I will open a new drawing, draw in one 3D product and save the drawing and record the file size. Then I wall redraw that product once and save the drawing again. Just that single redraw will increase the file size by about 2000KB.Draw 2D Wall Plan View walls not connected error
I'm trying to drawing a 2D plan view with 3 walls created from a polyline and MV is telling me that the walls are not connected/ Where is the option to conenct these walls so I can create my 2D plan view? Thanks!Angle for back of cabinet in bay window
Curious to know how to angle a cabinet in the back instead of the front. I have tried messing with transition cabinets but it seems it will only do the fronts. See the attachment of the bay window and I have drawn lines of where the cabinets need to go.Draw Invisible Wall
Is there a way to draw an "invisible wall" like in v67? Sometimes I need to drop cabinets in an open area where there are not walls. In v67, it would just draw a line as a reference to drop the cabinets. In the newer version, you cannot draw a wall with no thickness. There will always be a wall drawn. I know you can turn off the AutoCAD layer that the walls are drawn in, but it would be nice if you did not have to turn on and off layers.Color Label Formula/Variable for Base Cabinets
Allow Color Label to be based on Toekick height + Color Label Size. Currently you have to manual change each location if you have something other than a 4" baseFill Wall With Products not working with some products
Occasionally I will try to fill a wall with a product, but the product's Width does not get adjusted properly. These are the same products every time, so it leads me to believe that there's something in the product's spreadsheet that isn't set properly rather than the actual "Fill Wall With Products" command misbehaving. I know it's happened with a couple products I use semi-regularly, but specifically now it's the Valance product. Library 44.1. The default value of the Valance product is "=IF(Units=1,96,2438)",Add a "Spacing" feature when placing multiple cabinets.
We often do jobs that use the same cabinet many times, but with a specific space between them. Sometimes it's 3/4" and sometimes its 1/4" or something in between. I would like to have a "spacing" field in cabinets that would place multiples with the specified space between them as populated in that field. This would save a lot of time on certain jobs.FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to Copy a Category Inside a Project
We would like to use "Categories" inside our jobs to better organize the rooms. If we do so, we would like the ability to copy an entire category at one time with one click. So, if we had a category that was the 1st floor of a hospital, we could justNext Page
