March was a busy month, with a strong mix of new features, improvements, and fixes across both the software and library data. We’ll walkIs this possible with just the extruded product builder?
It has dowels in the top and bottom plates and the ends are not perpendicular to the radii. What's the best way to go about doing this? I have it made in 3D but we don't have the 3D analyzer yet.House Construction using Microvellum
I’ve been developing my own products for nested based high performance house construction and wondered if anyone else is using Microvellum in a similar way? Is this a direction MIcrovellum would consider moving towards considering the enormous marketUpdating Drawing Information Dialog Box
Ok ... why?? Copied a room from (1) category to another, rename new room to new name and copied drawing file. Open the room and this box NEVER goes away no matter what, Why???MVTB7 Launch Prompt and Error
Weird error ... How I got to this was ... missed / didn't click Continue upon opening AutoCAD and then MV. So got into AutoCAD ... type MVTB7 (like I've done before in the past) and this error comes up. Double checking the NETLOADMVTB7.lsp it shows this:Cabinet material different the door/drawer face material
Cabinet material = PB Door/drawer face material = MDF Large educational project. Is there a way to do this globally instead of manually changing material on each and every door/drawer face? Currently in BSB, but Imperial Component Cabinet Library v0Grain Direction Tool - For those who have trouble visualizing parts and orientation
Hey All, I sometimes have a hard time visualizing the correct grain direction on parts on a nested sheet/how it looks in 3d. Sometimes the part is close in size W x D but I need a better way to check. So I worked on this and has been helpful for myselfOEM can't draw selected product on wall "from database" after copying in product list
Is this not a feature with 2024 OEM? I thought there was the option to do this in the 2025 or BSB.Automatically draw section if product is added to wall
I noticed that the elevations update if you place a product on a wall after you have already drawn the wall elevation. Not sure if this is a "feature"? However, the section did not update even though I have picked the section line running thru the wall/products.Converting to new library
Currently in BSB, but Imperial Component Cabinet Library v050.7. Need to get old library into new Foundation library so we can us the updates and addons. Looking for suggestions to move our cabinets from our current library into the new library."Products in New Drawing Setup"
Curious to know if this function is being used by anyone, and its intended use. Is this a function geared toward the use of Innergy, within BSB? Trying to understand the principle:BSB slow
Does anybody else have BricsCAD being really slow? Mine is hanging like almost everything I do it just hangs and stops responding. These files really aren't that big and its a brand new computer so I'm trying to figure out if its something on my end orExplain GETEQ1, GETEQ2, GETEQH and GETEQV better ..
Can some please explain the GETEQ1, GETEQ2, GETEQH and GETEQV better than this FAQ page?? https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/eq-functions Starting with a blank Misc Starter Part. I want an item of QTY X [Variable Name: SLATS] equallyBiesse Winstore- Who's got one?
Does anyone out there have a Biesse Winstore? If so, how has your shop linked it with Microvellum? Did you use Eurosoft's Wintegration? Has anyone successfully deployed a system with Microvellum directly feeding into the Winstore without a third partyopening multiple instances of BSB
Is it okay to do this or does it use another seat? Switching between libraries and need to have both open.Open Discussion: MV Specialists At Your Shop. Who handles MV behind the scenes?
Hey All, I wanted to see how other shops have handled their own internal MV specialist (someone whos the main point for all MV). Do you have someone whos fully/mostly dedicated to handling MV Maintanence, training, product creation and so on. When somethingthis "replace product prompts"....is that like "replace product"??
or does it just replace the product prompts?Base or Tall Cabinet - With Toe Kick and Adding SCRIBE at Floor
Ok ... Why is this so hard to do in FOUNDATION LIBRARY? (Maybe it happened in COMPONENT LIBRARY too??) Base or Tall Cabinet ... Cabinets for a big project are going in BEFORE flooring ... so customer whats all the BASE and TALL cabinet to have 7/16" extraWiki
More of a general question: This detailing job has more info than I can keep in my head, Especially info used like once a year, Ended up making a folder for every supplier/company to contain their specific info, (150 suppliers), Then have a word documentSolid wood doors
It has been a while since I've had to change the doors to solid wood slab doors. Since there are so many ways to do it in MV, what is the best method? Change the door material pointer to solid wood material or change the door style to something? LookingNeed Hardware
Accuride 3634/3634EC Accuride 7950/7957 Rakks surface mount brackets Does anybody have these they would be willing to export to me?Foundation Library Drawer Boxes - Material Selection
In the Foundation Library I am curious how others have it setup in their formula driven materials to be able to select between drawer box materials. As 95% of out projects utilize melamine drawer boxes, but occasionally we get a project that wants hardwoodHardware List
If I wanted to print a hardware report of all of our hardware in the current library, is there a way to do that? Specifically talking about all of our hinges so we can just look at the report to see if the hardware numbers are correct?left/right drawer fronts still not labeled
so i saw that on build 25.0319 they added left/right part names to drawer parts on a side by side draw config. but we are on 25.1121 but are drawer fronts still aren't labeled left and right. is there a prompt i'm missing?Better resource for editing visibility in a block in BricsCAD
Does anybody have better documentation on how do actually do this? AutoCAD was so much more intuitive.Master 2 Bay Horizontal
I haven't made use of MV for the last 2+ months, and you know what happens (If you don't use it you loose it). I need to modify the unit, not sure how to accomplish this in E.D.D., 2D Instructions or Subassemblies. I cannibalized the original and justSlat Wall
Wondering if there is a Slat Wall product in Foundation, I searched and found "perforated panel". The Wall Paneling is not helpful. Any suggestions?dfd-bold.shx
In BricsCAD, I have this 1 font I can't for the life of me figure out where to import from. Does anybody have a file of this they can share with me? It pops up every time I open a drawing. Previously we used OEM so wondering if that has something to doSMA material selection?
When SMA prompts for a material selection, if I used find and replace inside our typical library materials, it only lists 1 set of the find and replace that I did. I am assuming it is the 1st material names I changed or 1st spec group its using, howeverBricsCAD Sheet Set Manager
Does anyone know how to rename a subset? I find help online saying there should be a "rename subset" in my right click options, but it is not there (or I'm not looking hard enough). I need standard subsets to organize drawings (Plan, Elevation, Detail,How do I delete scales I don't want in BSB?
The delete button is grayed out for all of them.Project Finishes On Reports
I'm trying to figure out the best way to include a section on the Work Order Summary that will list the finishes for the project. For example, what I'd like to see at the top of the work order would be a simple table. Designation Finish PL1 WilsonartFace 6 Report?
I am looking for a "Nested" report to give the CNC operators, that shows, 1. the edge that gets edge banding 2. Face 6 operations. They are not machining the Face 6 operations, either unaware it needs it or unclear of part placement. The Nesting OptimizationBSB snap marker size
Why is the snap marker size a different number than the crosshair pickbox? I also changed it and it didn't change anything. Seems counter intuitive to me.TechCon - Super Bowl Watch Party – 🏈

How do you guys handle custom products part naming? We use exploded part numbers in our typical cabinet reports for the shop but don't have a good way for the custom 3D stuff.
