Default settings and Presspull on BSB

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me out.

When I’m working with BSB, the value of VIEWRES defaults to 500. I’d like to set it permanently to 16000, but I can’t find any way to make that change stick. Every time I create a new room, it goes back to 100 or 500. How can I set VIEWRES so it always stays at 16000 by default?

Another issue I’m running into is with units. Sometimes new rooms load in inches instead of millimetres. I suspect some of the composite files are set to inches, but I want everything in millimetres. Is there a proper way to force BSB/BricsCAD to always stay in mm?

BricsCAD seems like good software, but it’s been a bit hard to adapt coming from AutoCAD.

For example, PressPull in AutoCAD was extremely powerful—you could create 3D solids from open lines, use Shift to create new solids from existing ones, and with Ctrl you could press-pull faces even if they were angled. It was great.

In BSB, PressPull seems very basic: it only works on 3D objects and doesn’t respond to Shift or Ctrl with any extra behaviour. Am I missing something? I’d really like to learn if there are equivalent tricks or workflows in BSB that match what AutoCAD offered.

Cheers
