OFFAL - any one using this feature?
Hello Group! We're wondering what the experiences of other folks with offal feature. Also are trying to figure out if purchasing the scrap management module has been beneficial for other shops, How easy (or hard) was it to set it up and maintain it? ThanksTurn off Toe Kick Notch - Where to find the check box?
Team, I am having this issue: Need to notch the left and right sides of a cabinet. The toe kick is there. The Machining token is there, but is not showing in the 3D. What am I doing wrong?Remove Back in the Design Workbook - Keep Pelmet - Base, Tall and Upper

Overview: Exchanging projects between users, support technicians, and service providers is a very common workflow. Typically, projects are zipped and shared via email or file transfer. However, the current Export Project utility creates significant obstaclesFeature Request: Option to Disable Associative Hardware Drawings to Improve Performance
Overview: User feedback consistently identifies slow draw time speed as one of the most significant drawbacks of Microvellum. Internal time studies on the Foundation Library confirm that hardware blocks included in 3D product drawings have the greatestDrawer Face Position Name
It was brought to my attention from production that the drawer front faces no longer say Left / Right for there position on the cabinet for a 2 door-2 drawer or any side by side drawer. Why was the name removed in Foundation? The Component Library hadFeature Request: Improve Visibility in Insert Function (FX) UI – Adjustable Column Widths

Part of developing our own custom products, I wish there was a way to have a popups in prompts. It's own built in wizard in a product. Sort of like how you have it for Subassemblies, or the calculator. The radio buttons are okay, but if I can just haveHow to Remove Part Label on 2D Elevations
How do you get rid of the part label on 2D Elevations in the Foundation Library? We don't use this note at all and want to remove it before making the Foundation Library accessible company wide for everyone to use.How can I get the Adj Shelf layout to adjust when I add a fixed shelf
I placed a tall 2 door cabinet; on the internal options I added a division with adj shelves on the right side. I need to add some drawers and/or a file cab under the shelves. Couldn't get it to work with other subassemblies so I add a fixed shelf on theTB-BSB not allowing to pick Pline from the add part UI
When adding a new part and picking an existing polyline to define the shape we're getting an error: As you many can see in the pic the command line is empty. The pick UCI works fine, allowing to define part orientation in the drawing. But NOT pick Pline...Foundation Library - Drawer Front Adjusters
I’m setting up the Foundation Library and have a question about the drawer front adjuster. I’d like the adjuster to center on the drawer face rather than the drawer box. I don’t see a Global Option for this, so I believe I’ll need to modify the subassemblies.Negative Value in Material Name
Hi everyone, I’ve encountered an issue when applying a negative material value in a formula for a cabinet part. Specifically, when the formula includes a negative in the Materials (e.g., ="-" & Material Name), the associated part completely disappearsRead Only
Can the developers add Open Room Read Only to the Microvellum Project tab and free the drawing up for other engineers to open and edit? I am constantly asked to close a drawing for one of the guys to edit. Once they open it, I can open in Read only. IfDuplicate 3D Autocad parts being created spontaneously
On a number of occasions I'll be working away in Edit Design Data and or Part Properties on a custom product, then discover that a duplicate Autcad model of the entire product has been drawn at the exact location of the MV product. I only realize thatHow To Export DWG to XML?
I'm wondering how I can export my drawing file to an XML file? My goal is to; Export my .dwg to an XML Send the XML to someone They import the XML into Microvellum All the 3D cabinet models and walls are drawn in the same locations that I had in my originalChevron Wine Cabinet?
I do not see this option in the library. Or am I missing it? See below, trying to get something to match the designers drawings and not 100% where to go for this. Also if someone has done this, what is the construction method for this?Product not coming out in Product detail report
Hi All I have a product that when I process it ,the Image does not come out on the product detail report. I did it once, but can't figure it out now. I know it has something to do with defining a "prompt" in the spreadsheet. I looked through the knowledgePRO TIP: Grain Arrow for Analyzed Parts
We all know how costly wrong grain directions can be. For out-of-the-box library products this isn't much of an issue. But if your shop is anything like ours, you might be spending a lot of your time creating products from analyzed solids. This is whereneed to add a column to the lock lookup table

I have started googling the "Title" as it pertains to Woodworking and would welcome some input as it relates to those in our industry using 3D software driven by either concept in place of using Microvellum's "Solid Modeling Suite"Rollout Width
Where is the setting that I adjust for default rollout width? I need 3-1/8" reduction from opening size, but I cannot find the variable in globals or wizards. Thanks! LukeBest Practices: Material Thickness formulas
I've been thinking about this for a while. Perhaps it is somewhat irrelevant, since parts are drawn based on the material pointers used, but not all of the materials in a spec group are used in each cabinet. Sometimes I want to refer to a particular materialBest way to create this curved die wall?
Please forgive my ignorance. We only work in residential and never use die walls let alone curved die walls. I am trying to mimic the island end panel below but with a toe kick recess. I have drawn a polyline and used the extruded die wall w/ studs andHardware Pline depth value

Hello. I am working on adding the Peanut Connector 1 to our library and am having a bit of trouble. One of our guys got the CAD files for the hardware and the tooling, as well as the machining tokens from MV, however we have been unable to figure outAventos HF Top Hole position
Hi. Im a bit confuse about the positioning of the holes for the Aventos HF Top If i look at the blum installation, the top holes is said to always be put at 116mm from the top (93mm for special installation) In MV the hole are at 116mm but the HardwareAdjust Wall Length Tool - Base/Tall Products
Does anyone know exactly how the Adjust Wall Length tool determines which products it shows as being associated? From what I could reverse engineer, it seems that for Base and Tall cabinets, it looks for products who's height = height above floor. AndPerfect Corner on MDF Door
Hello, Wondering if there is a way to make my "perfect corner" on an MDF door more "perfect"? I've attached an image below of what my corner looks like. As you can see, the corner is slightly rounded. Is there a way to make this corner more sharp? Theinclude route in border
In the angled Sink Frame below I want to include the diagonal route in the border. This is happening on one biesse cnc & not the other. I thought it might be "include route in border" but this is checked on both machines. Anyone know where i control this?Cabinet Mass/Weight and how it currently works
The last discussion about cabinet weight I found was from 3 years ago. While I can get information about the cabinets from MV and put it in a spreadsheet formula and get the material weight of a project, but that is tedious. Does anyone know what theDrawer Box Locations
