Getting fatal errors
It seems like a graphics issue to me. Is this still normal? Forgive me as it has been a while since I've been using MV heavily. I'm using an rtx 3080 and all the settings are set to be using it. I don't really feel like a ticket is warranted. I'm also
Wall and Subassembly with electrical outlets - for anyone interested
For anyone interest I've attached a Room Component Wall and a product subassembly with electrical outlets. Disclaimer - I created it in an imperial foundation library 25.0418 and tested it pretty good, shouldn't be any issues. If you do find any, I'd
Custom tool profile not applying - cutting all material to full depth
Hello, I have several panels where I want some edges of the back faces mitered at 45 degrees. I originally accomplished this with the miter machine token which accomplished the look in model space but did not appear in the CNC nesting. As I understand
Mortise & Tenon Settings and MiterFold
I revisited my original post and decided to break up my discussion and focus on the Mortise and Tenon. The multicolor item is what I drew in AutoCAD Solids and the "product is the single color. As you see the legs show the Mortise and the Facia shows

Where to locate 2d elevation filler dimensions
Its been a pain for us since we switch and I haven't been able to locate where to find the 2d filler elevation code to fix. Every time it makes an elevation and there's filler, it creates the dimensions in the height and direction. At this point I'd rather
Pilot hole diameter for screw construction and drawer slide holes
I feel like I am doing everything right but I am stumped on the these hole diameters. I have screw construction set up with dados and those holes are reading .2756 which isn't even a drill bit size we have or I have set it to. I want it to be 3mm actually. The other issue is the drawer slide pilot holes are showing 3mm when I have changed them to 5mm. Am I missing something here? Also to add, when I change those settings below to 3mm, neither set of pilot holes change even after I redraw them.
Aventos HF Top Hole position

Library Designer
What did I do wrong? I copy and pasted a cross section instruction token from a custom product to the regular library product, now my carcass doesn't draw and the part name formulas don't work. In Library Designer they just say "(Formula)". I'm not sure
Rabbet at Top Nailers to Allow Cabinets to Hang
Hey there! I'm sharing a feature request for Microvellum version 24.1025 as we're gearing up for a deadline. I'm highlighting the need for more incorporated features in the library to avoid getting stuck in outdated versions for years. I'm starting to

Best way to create this curved die wall?

Solid Model Analyzer - Rebates
When using the Solid Model Analyzer (SMA) to make a part that has a 1/4" rebate for a scribe, I get an error saying that there is not a SMA router tool with the correct diameter to machine that rebate. Microvellum seems want the router tool diameter to
Vertical Drill Pecking Function Issues
I'm trying to use the Pecking Number function for drilling into 3/4" Starboard (polymer/plastic) as a single plunge will create a buildup of material on the bit which eventually scores the surface of the material. I've setup a standalone Processing Station
Changes made to a lookup table revert/wont save
Im working on a project where a base cabinet has a different drawer/edgeband color for the drawer faces than the doors. I have been able to get the drawer face material to be different by using material pointers, that one was easy. I also changed the
Adjust Wall Length Tool - Base/Tall Products
Does anyone know exactly how the Adjust Wall Length tool determines which products it shows as being associated? From what I could reverse engineer, it seems that for Base and Tall cabinets, it looks for products who's height = height above floor. And

Formula
How would I go about adding this formula: IF(OR(Left_Fin_End=1,Right_Fin_End=1),-.5,"") To this formula: =IF(Bulge=0,Front_Build_Up_Length,IF(Bulge>1,PANELLENGTH_2,IF(Bulge<-1,PANELLENGTH_2,Front_Buildup_Length_Calc))) Basically I am trying to come up
Perfect Corner on MDF Door

Videos and training about server setup and database management
Is using Microvellum on a server a taboo topic? Why are there no videos or training materials to assist? I think I know why but I would like to find out from the community. I found 1 video from an old wood hacks about using the library designer. Is this
Library Designer and Database Explorer
I created a sandbox with the latest library, when I pull up Library Designer or Database Explorer, I only see the library that is on the server. What step am I missing? My idea is to push everything to the new sandbox library products before updating
Product Labels by Batch
I'm running into a problem with the product label report. I can't get it to filter by batch. The product data has a column I could set up as a workorder relation (LinkIDWorkOrder) but there's no batch column (LinkIDWorkOrderBatch). Right now, I have the

Hello guys, I am wondering to ask how to do make a new environment on server. Are the same process as is for the local setup? I would like to install new library on server but still keep the existing one, to test them and make own setup before total transition.
Add machining to an array or repeated object
As per the title i think it should be possible to add machining to an array like my attached picture, i keep having to do this, and it looks like i'm going to have plot each of these boxes manually. There are probably 3 other ways to do this same job,
Drawer Box Rear Gap in Foundation Library

In the angled Sink Frame below I want to include the diagonal route in the border. This is happening on one biesse cnc & not the other. I thought it might be "include route in border" but this is checked on both machines. Anyone know where i control this?
Any Updates on SMT Development Roadmap?
I have been an advocate for Microvellum's Solid Model Tools since their inception. As time goes by however, these tools are in need of some major improvements. A few things that come to mind: Better analyzation of parts (especially radius parts) to rotate
Hinge plate offset from front
Question, looking for the way to adjust the hinge plate offset from the front in the foundation. I did find formulas in the "S" workbook for every door style in column K. The formula is =IF(IS_Face_Frame,0,M2U(37,G!Accuracy)+G!Door_to_Cabinet_Gap). I
Custom Starter Part / Appliance Panels to Buyout Report

Cnc Tools Stopping
Hi Microvellum. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had the problem of a tool stopping before it proceeds to its first cutting operation. Since we installed foundation library it seems as though tool 7 on both our machines sometimes stops at the point
Spreadsheet View(s) Top Row Save
Anyone know a tip on getting products or subassemblies to save so Row 1 is at the top? Randomly cutparts and subassemblies will put the last item (row 5, 10, etc) at the top of the screen. So you have to scroll/use scrollbar up to see the entire lis
