Base Cabinets - Top Cutout with Full Top
We have been looking at switching over to the Foundation library from the Component Library. One thing I seem to be missing is the ability to add cutouts to the top of base cabinets when using a full top. This is our preferred assembly method. I haveSection lines and drawing tokens
Is there anyone that uses section lines in conjunction with drawing tokens? What is your typical workflow?Weird Intermittent Problem With Lookup Table

I suppose I should ask first. Is there a option to run MV with a higher resolution then 1920x1080? What is Microvellum waiting for? It's high time for MV to make the adjustment.Database viewing
Is there a way to see the database of my current project that I am working on?FEATURE REQUEST - Extruded Hardware that draws in 3D and optimizes to get a quantity
There are several ways I can imagine going about creating and allocating "extruded hardware" using cut parts, solid stock, hardware parts, molding, profiles, or some combination of any of those. We have tried 3 approaches so far: 1) Creating cut partsBlum draw bottom drilling
I'm hoping to get some assistance with a question. As far as I can tell I've set the draw bottom drilling to utilize a 3mm drill bit at a depth of 12mm for both the project and library levels. However, when I use a Blum draw, it defaults to a 5mm holeHIRING EXPERIENCED MICROVELLUM ENGINEER - VAUGHAN, ON

When you create a new product using Solid Model Analyzer, all the parts go into a blank spreadsheet that has only Height, Width and Depth. If you are a shop using formula driven materials that require local prompts to get the material information from, these new products do not work correctly.
