Foundation Library
Hi all, I have been setting up the foundation library with my own drawing template that I have used with 2020 library with no issues. For some reason, in the foundation library, all my cabinets are coming out with one colour. Anyone else has had a similarMV product
Has anyone had an issue with having too many products in their library? The reason why I'm asking is because my company has a few product lines they want in MV. That way Engineers can pick a product from a list and draw it in MV. Over time this list couldPaperless?
Has anyone gone paperless as in not printing out cutting reports and nest layouts but rather creating pdf's to be viewed at the machines or assembly workstations? If so what were the hurdles? Learning curve on the floor? ThanksCustom product drawing incorrectly
Hi everyone, I created a couple of custom products for our shop, but when I draw them in, the parts all draw above the z axis; in the attached photos the one product is drawing 11 3/4 above 0, and another one is drawing 10 1/2 above 0. I check the HeightFoundation Library Buyout Doors
Hi All, Question for those using the foundation library, or someone from microvellum. Might be a stupid question, or I'm completely blind. Messing around with the foundation library, getting it ready for implementation, cannot for the life of me figureCreating a New Drawer Box System
Are there any instructions or procedures for creating a new drawer box system? Like here for Adding New Drawer Slide https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/adding-a-new-drawer-slide We are looking to utilize Hafele Matrix Drawer Set System.Rotate along the Y axis
Hello, Is it possible to rotate a product along the Y axis? The Rotate Product command spins the product along the Z axis. I need to flip my product along to Y so that it stands up. Is there an easy way to do it? Thanks.2_D Wall Dimensions
G,Day. I have found that I can draw walls using the Draw Cross Section Tool (Cross Section,Plan Section,Elevation Section) and I Have added some 2_D dimensions in the spread sheet as you do with units. With units I just save back to the library with theMMenu Display
Hi, I'm having issues with pop-up menus not fully displaying. The menu is fixed and can't be extended horizontally or vertically. Appreciate your input in finding a solution.Copied Rooms Gives Errors
Does anyone else get errors with copied rooms in the same project as the original. I use the Copy Room command to make a copy of the room. The error I usually get is "Index was outside the bounds of the array." I am using Microvellum 2019 with BuildWe need different wall types
We all draw islands, and it's always easiest to draw the elevations using the "draw wall" command, but the wall in the floorplan shows a solid wall. It needs to show a dashed line to properly display on the floorplan. We should have a new wall typeMV box labels
I need a box label to make 4 label per product. So if there is 1 product with a quantity of 5, I would need report designer to make 20 labels for that product. How can I accomplish this using report designer?FEATURE REQUEST - Ability to highlight cells in edit design data spreadsheets
I saw it mentioned in reference to updating new libraries that it would be a good idea to possibly highlight the cells that you updated with new formulas etc. Taking it one step further I think it would be great if we had the ability to highlight cellsFEATURE REQUEST - Change/Improve the sorting of formulated materials
It appears that formulated materials 1st sorting criteria is the material name, rather than the alias, even though the alias comes first. It seems odd (and unlike any other programs I've used) to have a list that is sorted by the 2nd object in each line,Plotting blue
In yesterday's live training session for Submittal drawings this issue was touched on, but I didn't catch where to make the change. I noted Plan View> Legacy Hidden = removes color. Where do I need to be to make this selection to remove the blue color from my plots?Remote, Microvellum Engineering & Submittal Services

The Division setback Variable is missing in the globals.
