Introducing the Next-Gen Optimizer: Now in Beta
We’re excited to introduce a new generation of optimization tools—now available in beta. This release marks a major step forward, featuring an all-new optimizer built from the ground up with a modern, flexible architecture and a powerful genetic algorithm.Machining Tokens: Highlight on part when selected
Similar to how a part will highlight in model space when you are cycling through them in the Part Properties, it would be extremely beneficial if machining tokens acted the same way & highlighted in model space when cycling through them.. There is literallyitem number
hey all does anyone know how to get the unit item numbers on to the paperspace while using the view base in brics cadTool Path Help
Hey Legends, I am trying to cut some boat building plywood for a friend. I've been supplied the DWG & DXF files but having issues with our SCN PratixN12 "not following" the tool path while testing a dry running of the program. I've trialled the following-Feature Request: Rotate Part in Nest - Arbitrary vs 90 deg. Increments
I love the ability to rotate parts in the nest more than 90 degrees.. but it would be nice to have a couple/few more buttons for this. Previously, the button would just rotate 90 degrees and if clicked again, it would return the part to the original orientation.Toe Kick above finished floor?
Is it possible to place a toe kick 1/4" above the finished floor? I know the front is controlled with the floor scribe prompt, but I don't know how to get the sub frame off the floor.add tabs to routes
I think it would be a great feature if we could add TABS to cutouts or any toolpaths, not only bordersUpdate on Microvellum Compatibility with AutoCAD 2027
Hello, I have an update to share regarding Microvellum compatibility with AutoCAD 2027. At this time, work toward AutoCAD 2027 compatibility has been paused, and we will not release a Q2 build of Microvellum AC that supports AutoCAD 2027. After furtherBlum REVEGO - Incorrect Hardware Drilling
Just a heads up, I used the Blum REVEGO product from Foundation Library 26.0112 and released a Uno+Uno cabinet. Turns out the hardware drilling placement is incorrect. I should have verified layout with Blum's E-services but I didn't. Don't make the sameTrue Machining with Solid Model Analyzer
It would be nice is there was an option to show the true tool paths and parts (radius in a corner) that shows where the router bit will leave a radius instead of a 90 degree inside corner. It would just be nice to see because once and awhile I miss spotsMaterial not found
Any idea why i'm getting this error? The material is in the spec group material list as you can see in the second screenshot. I even created a new one from the design data screen. Material exists in the database as you can see in the third screenshot.Pilot holes will not turn off
I have changed the method from screws to none on my thick backs but it is still putting pilot holes? Is there another method to stop the holes from drilling.I am looking for work immediately
Message me if you need someone on your team that will go the extra mile. Looking for a team that works as a team and communicates effectively and has the highest level of leadership. The last 2 places I have worked did not have these 2 attributes andSMA template product
I'd guess not, but is there a template product that SMA uses that we can modify to add some basic prompts, subassemblies, etc? For instance, I'd like to add a prompt to toggle "hidden parts", add a subassembly for our Flatshots, and remove the defaultHelp! Product is in the Product Viewer and in Model Space But...
I've spent a week tweaking a set of uppers. Then today I went to redraw and they were just gone. So I close everything before saving and open it all back. The product is listed in Product Viewer, it shows in model space. But now when I prompt it, it isFEATURE REQUEST: Smart Layer Corner Type of "None" to do Pure SWEEP
As shown in the image above, the current "none" setting creates awkward breaks that really aren't desired in any sense of woodworking. It's also a bit confusing for new users when they choose "none" and expect a full sweep (like proposed) and end up withFEATURE REQUEST: Control Part Grain Directions in Smart Layers
Controlling grain directions for parts analyzed with SMT/SMA have always been a problem - and a costly one at that. The ability to influence/control grain directions via Smart Layers is a must have with these tools. I would envision setting up some "governingFeature Request: Pointers for Materials in Smart Layers
Can we please get pointers for Smart Layers and Solid Model Analyzing? We use Formula driven Materials and it would be great to set the materials to pointers instead of hard setting the materials to each part.lock position
Justed added a lock by copying existing similar lock and modifying parameters. In the image below where do i changed the 7/8" distance. Currently the lock is 3/4" from the edges and needs to be 7/8". Thanks in advanceCurved Cabinets for Walk-in Robes
Hi everyone, We have a walk-in robe project with a curved wall, and we've created templates to represent each cabinet. For modelling the cabinets, I've been experimenting with Master Angled Ends to try and archive the desired results, but I'm not sureCursor Disappears after using Solid Model Analyzer
After I place a product using the Solid Model Analyzer, my cursor disappears. If I move my mouse around the crosshair appears extremely enlarged, but when I click, my cursor is actually somewhere else on the screen.

We are happy to announce that Microvellum build 26.1.0422.641 is now available! This build includes resolutions for issues with product dimensioning, associative machining, grid view within the processing center, sawing reports, and more. A new optimizationFEATURE REQUEST: Allow Smart Layers to be Assigned to Solids
When modeling things out that can't easily be built with the SMT builders, I find it beneficial to set up Smart Layers for part naming and material assignments and manually assign them to parts I'm modeling. However, this process is not very fast becauseFEATURE REQUEST: Allow Grouped Solids to be Analyzed as Subassemblies or Standard Parts
Currently, analyzing solids that have been grouped together is a big no-no, and isn't even permitted. This throws a wrench in common workflows among CAD users. When working with complex models, it's nice to group parts together so you can move them around,HAIR-BRAINED IDEA: Add AI-Built Simple Parametrics to Analyzed Products
Just throwing this out there.... What if when we analyzed a solid model, Microvellum (AI) automatically inferred some simple parametrics. Nothing too crazy to start, even just a simple recognition of part locations in reference to Width, Height, and Depth.Feature Request: All Options Always Present
I'm new to MV and so is the guy working next to me. We are trying hard learn this thing but here's one frustration we're having: Finding tools/options/prompts when we need them. I think I've I've suggested a search bar for that before, but what wouldProcess with material that is finished on one side
Hello everyone, We’re not sure how to handle this option. We have material that is finished on one side, and we never really know how to manage everything when trying to set up an efficient process. Currently, we create a material called “Oak 48x96 1Visual edgebanding in 3D Model
Hi all, recent new user here after 25 years using "other' software, can't work out how to visually display the banded edges of a component so I can quickly verify which edges need banding added. We do a lot of large commercial/hospital type projects andFace 6 Edge Trim Start Location
I am looking for a method to change where the face 6 edge trim geometry starts. Currently it sets the Y start point .125" off the sheet. Due to one of our machines limits, it is necessary to set this to Y=0. Has anyone else had to make this change & foundWhere can I adjust the reveal between drawer fronts in a drawer stack?
Usually in Product Prompt>Face Option setting the reveals here is all I need. But today I was dimensioning out a drawer stack and realized MV just decided only one reveal (between lowest two drawers) should be 5/32. Our shop standard is 3/32. Where canSequential Numbering & Labels from Single Product
Is there a way to use a single product and enter a range or set of numbers (0-100 or 123, 456, 789, etc.) and have an identical product processed with multiple labels for each number? Each item would be a duplicate, but having the labeling this way wouldFEATURE REQUEST: hardware List

Hi everyone, I'd like to suggest a practical improvement to part labels that would help operators quickly identify parts on the nest sheet without extra steps. Current situation: Our labels already show a small furniture preview image (see photo). ThisParts Nesting Position on the label
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding part labels in Microvellum. Is it possible to display the part’s nesting position (ID/number) directly on the label (sticker)? For example, so the operator can easily identify the part’s location in the nest sheet.Simple (I hope) Question - Toe Kick Return
Where would I go to create a toe kick return to the back wall?Innergy design
I saw this on Innergy’s website. Does anyone know more about it? I was wondering if it would be similar to Microvellum. Design - INNERGYCreating Custom Pocket Machining - Hatch Polyline
Quoting from the knowledge base, "Hatch Polyline Allows you to create a pocket routing operation for a custom shaped polyline" I must have a curse with commands not working right unless I try ten thousand times because I am having trouble replicatingOne Upper With Four Doors?
This may be a silly question but I'm making uppers for a laundry room, 4 doors across. I originally had a one door left swing, a two door with handles in the middle and then a one door right swing. But my boss said it would be better to make it all oneCentralized Bug Tracker & Proactive Issue Alerts
- I think we need a centralized bug tracking bulletin that clearly lists open and known issues. Currently, it's exhausting to constantly monitor forums, self-diagnose problems, or attend every event session just to stay informed. It’s highly inefficientParametrics Trail
Currently a huge struggle for our teams is: When making any kind of changes to a cabinet, often times the change doesn't take effect OR the change comes out different than we expected. We are pretty sure this is usually due to that specific variable beingNext Page
