Solid Model Tools/Analyzer Need Serious Work
I jumped onboard the Solid Model Tools train when they were first introduced in 2014. They were a game changer for us. Over the years these tools have evolved; and in many ways, they evolved for the better but have never been perfect - and I don't expectAccess Panel machined at OUTSIDE of case
Wondering if it would be possible to get an option added to the Access Panel subassembly to flip the access panel to the outside of the case instead of from the inside?Workbook Question
In the H workbook (Prompts tab) what is column C representing ? I am wondering if the value 5 shouldn't be 7.5 ? Also what is column M used for?March Release Review – Features, Fixes &Improvements
Well, it’s already time for another release review... and we have a lot to cover tomorrow at 1:30 PM Pacific Time. March was a busy month, with a strong mix of new features, improvements, and fixes across both the software and library data. We’ll walkNew Product Prompts
Is there a reason why we can't have the same 4 buttons for the Product Prompts that we have for Edit Design Data? I shouldn't have to check or uncheck when i want to redraw the product.People of Australia
I'm curious if this is just us or a country wide thing at the moment, how is your workload lately? We are particularly quiet at the moment and it's not showing signs of improvement at this stage. I'm sure the Iran/US war issue is playing a part with allIs 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.Add a "Date Created" to Work Order Management window
I recently watched a lunch-an-learn about using the Database management tools and one of the things they covered was Work Order Management. While watching it hit me that it would be great for this window to have a column that could be sorted by "DateSync database over multiple locations
For those that have engineers in multiple locations around the country / world, How are you syncing databases across all of them? If one location creates customizations to a product how do the others know about it and access it? From what I know thereUnacceptably long wait time for tech support
10 to 14 days (minimum) waiting for tech support to address issues with BSB or Microvellum in general. Are they too busy for a courtesy email or call to let me know wait times are long? I have serious production and software problems that aren't beingCorna Support
Hey gang! Am I going crazy, I swear you used to be able to add Corna Catches to doors? I cannot for the life of me find the prompt or hardware material, or am I imaging things 🤪Design & Engineering Skills Competition

1. It would be nice if there was an option to do more of a full depth product (Upper Cabinet Depth) with separate bottom plate cleating and blocking. This allows the front bottom plate behind the face panel to be finished while the rear can be a raw material.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???Cumulative document of all 2026 MV Build Release Notes
@Clay S. Can we please get cumulative document for all the 2026 release notes? Similar to all the other years. Thanks!Title block not populating from project properties
I changed the property value to be something that was less confusing and now the info wont populate across the drawing. Unfortunately, I know enough to try to make the change but not enough to fix it. I can still add info to the blocks by double clicking.Feature Request - Pilot hole only construction method
There are many times I've wished for parts to get machined for pilot holes that don't match the properties of the 'Screw' construction, where we usually use confirmat screws (8mm face drilling and 5mm edge bore). Could we possibly get a new Pilot HoleMaterial Takeoff withou Work Order
we create our material takeoff based on the work order summary of a project to figure all the sheet goods, banding, hardware, etc.. To do that i generate a work order called the project name then material and go through processing it just like i'm sendingIs it possible to edit the Composite Drawing default
Wondering if it's possible to edit the Composite Drawing default for how the text is laid out under the nest pattern. As some of our material names are long it covers the Yield value as seen in the Composite Original jpg. If possible I'd like to changeMVTB7 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:FEATURE REQUEST: Window Selection Mode to Follow CAD Behavior
Many operations inside of AutoCAD (and I'm assuming the same with BricsCAD) allow for object selection but will automatically switch to a window selection when the user clicks in space. This is very efficient. Currently, many of the commands in MicrovellumFeature Request: Maximum Button for Part List Review
It would be nice to have a Maximum Button to fill my screen for the Parts List Review dialog box. This should be standard on all dialog boxes.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 v0More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
Hey everyone, I think we can all agree the current "one vote" system is a good start, but it doesn't always show the full picture. Right now, a minor "nice-to-have" that lots of people upvote looks exactly the same as a "major workflow killer" becauseChanging Current Configuration
I think it would be nice if there was the option to change the current configuration without exiting and relogging in. It would be nice if maybe you could do it from the tool bar also.Changing Configuration - Splash Screen
I swear during my training videos, there was an MV command I could type to bring back the splash screen and change configuration. Would anyone know what that is?Toolbox Login Screen - Revamp
This might feel like a small change, and in some ways it is, but a few tweaks to our Toolbox login screen could deliver a lot of benefit... The biggest thing you’ll notice in this mock-up is the new sidebar. The idea is to give users a quick way to seeChange Configuration Without Closing Program
There is a post about this in Questions and another in Ideas but I think this should potentially be categorized as a problem... Per recommendations by our Microvellum trainer we have decided to keep projects in the configuration they got started in thenGrain 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 myselfFEATURE REQUEST: Adding Intellesense for Prompts/Material Names
When writing formulas/updating you have to either have that prompt memorized or go through the Name UI and find what you need. Sometimes you have to do this multiple times throughout and can be annoying. It would be amazing if there was a way to add anRevert Cell In Product Prompts to Default
Would it be possible to add an option when in Product Prompt or Subassembly Prompts where you right click on a cell and there is a "Revert to Default Value" option that puts the cell back to the default value or formula for the spec group? Maybe it'sOEM 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.Change the Distance Between Parts functionality in the Processing station
Would it be possible to have the Distance Between Parts prompt in each the nesting processing stations changed to a distance to add to the nesting tool diameter instead of a fixed spacing? We occasionally select a tool with a larger diameter than ourGlobal control for Division text
Global options to display Elevation and Cross Section division text would be nice. We don't want to display them and need to delete the values in three division subassemblies with each library update. Build 25.1.421.641 Foundation 25.0813Delete work order after export - select to agree to all
Hi, Decided to do a bit of house keeping and zip and delete a load of old work orders. I've selected close to 100, ticked zip to export and ticked delete work orders after export. Big mistake! Now it is asking me if I would like to proceed to delete eachAutomatically 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.Cancel function when processing work order
Sorry if this has already been suggested. How many times have you gone to the work order creation window and hit process then realised you have missed something and need to cancel but cannot. If it's a large creation, this can take many, many minutesFEATURE REQUEST: colored parentheses in formulas, similar to Excel
When inside a formula, Excel uses different colors on the parentheses to indicate which pieces of the formula belong together. This is very helpful when you have an invalid formula and need to figure out if you have missing parentheses. Excel Example:FEATURE REQUEST: Show Formula Button for "Height Above Floor"
Feature Request: Show Formula button for "Height Above Floor" Dear MV Team & Community, It would be awesome to get a "Show Formula" button when right clicking on the "Height Above Floor" Field As every time i want to use a formula in there i have to openNext Page
