Poor performance
Anyone else having performance issues with BricsCAD Microvellum? Its taking up 5 minutes or more to open drawings, autosave is the same - it would be quicker and easier to draw what I need in 2d and save all the hassle and anxiety that goes with Mv. I'veEdge Profile for Bed Platform
Does any know how to model an L-shape profile for the edge of a bedframe? Is there any template that's best to start with? Mitred Shelf maybe? See image below. Thanks in advance.Sticky Grips
Is any one having issue where selecting the grips is sticky? Meaning there's a lag or 3 second pause for Bricscad to process until it's ready to be move or modified. It's annoying, and of course, waste of time. I've never had this issue with Autocad.Drawing/Redrawing Cabinets taking 20-40 seconds everytime
After the last couple updates I feel like MV has gotten so slow, to the point that is is unbearable to get anything done. Not sure what could be causing this.

Why does Microvellum make life so complicated? I want to turn of the wall dimension so I go to "wall setup" and uncheck the box. But it doesn't work?! Why? Asking AI leads to some system prompt "elvnodim" and when typed in doesn't exist. I know I canUpside down text

I am still mystified that MV thinks of "Scribe Filler" as a single entity. Fillers go between cabinets and are meant to be cut and added to the cabinets at whatever dimension they are set to.
