Unacceptably long wait time for tech support

Solid Model Tools/Analyzer Need Serious Work

Product Update Request: Soffit
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

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 Hole

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:
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 Microvellum

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 see

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.
