3D Modeling - Presspull or other commands
I understand the parametric nature of MV so far, but is there any way to "free-form" model within the 3D space? Similar to SketchUp's tools or like the presspull command in AutoCAD. I tried presspull on a slab, but when redrawn it will revert to the originalDraw Dynamic Image - Parts List Discrepancy
When going to make shop drawings we are looking for the parts list to reflect each part without the edge banding deducted from the part size. Using mvpartslist the dimensions are accurate, but when using Dynamic image it deducts the edge banding fromDrawer Front Overlays
im needing to modify a existing project that some one started. what i need to do is change the drawer front overlay which is leaving a 1/4" reveal to a 1/16" reveal? it shouldn't be a globe setting because we don't do 1/4" reveals not sure why this guyDraw Toe Kick Box
I have recently changed companies I work for and am missing something we used at the previous company. We had a global to draw a simple 3D Box under the base cabinets for elevations and to snap dimensions to. I have added a capture of the global I thoughtBest way to create Multi Drawer Sink Cabinet
Hi everyone, Need to create a 4 drawer sink cabinet that has a open space in the middle for plumbing, and the drawer fronts overlay, not sure the best way to create this using the library. See attached drawings for what I need to build. I was thinkingHow to draw cabinets plan view not associated to wall (island cabinets) in Foundation library
Curious how to do this. We have cabinets back to back so do I need to draw 2 microscopic walls as a work around?Minor Cosmetic Issue - Theme Colors Vary by Workbook
The color options for cell formatting are different between workbooks. The F! and W! workbooks are the same, and all others use a 2nd selection of colors. We like to try to color code our lookuptables, and this would be easier if we had the same colorChange DIM to front from back for island cabinets
How do I change this in the foundation library? In 50.7 there was an option in product prompts we used all the time. I want to be able to do it just for certain cabinets.Changing the Chamfer Angle of Corner Cabinet
Hi there, I'm needing to fit a very small space with a corner cabinet that has a 51 degree angle, but the angle is set at 45 degrees and I can't seem to change it. Does anyone know how to do this? Or do you know another way to fit that cabinet in (itDynamic Product Images as files
I know Dynamic Product Images are created in model tab for printing. But is it possible to save Dynamic Product Images as files as in parts' DXF and PNG files?Drafting and Design: Now hiring

Hello, Is it possible to rotate a product along the Y axis? The Rotate Product command spins the product along the Z axis. I need to flip my product along to Y so that it stands up. Is there an easy way to do it? Thanks.Drawings for Customers
Kitchen Manufacturing company here. We have been having feedback from customers that they are not understanding the 2D Wireframe drawings or the 3D Hidden drawings. Some are also saying there is too much information and some say there is not enough. HasSolid 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

Hello Guys, I am trying to add adjustable shelves on both side of the Cabinet Division, but in the sub prompt I have only the options of adding shelves to either side of the division. what can i do to have the shelves on both side? Thanks! AmyMV_Foundation_Library_21_0831_Metric

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

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

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.Next Page
