Not so perfect grain
While still running Toolbox OEM we have been tinkering with the BSB optimizer, while faster it seems to have it's own issues. The cabinets in the nest below have perfect grain and process correctly with OEM but the right door is getting rotates 180 degrees
Material file randomly changing data
Has anyone ever experienced the material file randomly changing data? For example, we have three rooms - kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. 3 completely different spec groups for each, all with independent components and all labelled as their relevant room.

Product Prompts text field red with formula
Hi, Sorry if I have missed something but I've had a search and could not find anything about this. I'm running software build 26.1.702.641 and only just noticed that any product prompts text fields with formulas are not showing red as they should be.
Empty Database/Library
I am looking to use Microvellum for some R&D and experiments and I would like to start with a completely empty database / library. ZERO products, subassemblies, profiles, dwgs, materials, prompts, textures, reports, etc, etc. Completely empty, blank absolute

'appliance cutout' but on the bottoms
Would be great to have something similar to the appliance cut out option that is at the top of the cabinets but for the bottoms. essentially creating 'feet' on the sides of our carcass' that go straight to the floor.
Innergy Engineering Sync UOM

Microvellum BSB 2026 Frozen except for 3D Viewcube
Can someone please tell why I am having such a hard time learning this Microvellum? Is it just me or the software still needs stability refinements? I spend more time trying to resolve crashes and glitches than actually modelling the cabinets. The lastest
Anyone Running on AutoCAD 2026 Yet ... and If so how?
Anyone Running on AutoCAD 2026 Yet ... and If so how? Also is AutoCAD 2026 11x faster as they are claiming?? We just are starting to replace and update PC and moving to Windows 11 and hopefully AutoCAD 2026 Fresh installs and nothing previously loaded
Add In Scrap To Nest Pattern
Currently with the scrap management its all automated, you can't add in a scrap panel if you wanted to save a section of material if it was below your current limits set. I would be great if you could have a tool just like the 'add part' but 'add scrap'
Feature Request - Group Borders w/ Machining
Maybe there is a way to have MV do this automatically. But if not, it would be very cool. Inside of the nest Composite.dwg, it would be super helpful if part borders were grouped with their machining. So when my operator needs to move stuff around on
Feature Request: Perfect Grain Toggle within Finished Faces Subassembly should look at material sizes
Within S!Finished_Faces: The method for checking weather or not to use perfect grain is slightly flawed. Sometimes we will use 5x8 or 5x10 sheets to nest the doors and drawers because of their sizes. There were occasional failures in this because of the
PLINE Machine Token Incorrect Region
I'm using a PLINE machine token attached to a hardware item, with Option 2 set to 1 to region the cutout. The cutout is Face 5, but the Region cut is Face 6. Am I missing something?

FEATURE REQUEST: Add Grain Direction Field to Parts Review List
Because, let's face it, a "G" in the material name doesn't always mean someone set it up correctly or didn't change it for some unknown reason... Trust but verify.
Why has BSB stepped back years when it comes to using viewports??
Hi, We have used Autocad for many years, so it was great taking on bored Microvellum as it was Autocad based. Now that it has switched to Bricscad, which I am now in the process of getting up to speed for us to switch over, it seems to have leaped back
Render by Material
Hello, I tried the new hardware rendering feature. I followed all the steps exactly as instructed, but the materials do not appear in my drawing when I switch to Realistic display mode. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
Best Practice Reducing Vertices?
We just to moved to BSB. Trying out the simplify command. Using the "smoothen" option. How do you come up with parameters: max angle, max distance & minimum number of vertices? Trial and error?

Label problems with sizing
Since trying to be more efficient and pass more information along to the team in the comments section, i now cant do that because of the fonts and sizing issues when it comes to labels, when too much wording is placed then it just shifts the whole lot
FDM spec group components
Hi, Has anyone managed to install the latest FDM spec group components? I have just completed a full and new install of BSB 26', but they have not come through with the install. Tried asking MV AI, but got me no where, so asked to speak to a human and
Blind Cabinet Corner Panel
The formula for the width of the Blind corner panel has been changed. Now we can no longer screw the "Blind Facia Panel" to the "Blind Panel" Is it possible to have it changed back to the original? I can't think of any reason why it is now like this.
Under Panel Strip lighting needs fixing
It seems the Under Panel product now uses the "Undermount Strip Lighting Insert" sub-assembly (which is great!) However.. We've just found out the hard way that the Prompts "L! Strip Light Chase Width" and "L! Strip Light Chase Height" do absolutely nothing
Make a New Library Product Category
I really want to add a couple new product category codes. Those category codes like "B=base" "T=tall".. I really want to have one for some other common products, so we can call on similar wiz/globals like "G!Base_Cabinet_Height" that are fundamental and
DBE Load Projects
Is there a way to default opening DBE and have projects listed in the Tree View? The only current way is to use options each time it opens.
Perfect Grain
OK, so I have all my cupboards in the correct grain containers, but how do I make it align correctly? it's got the doors around the wrong way, and the doors should be sitting on top of the draw fronts. How do I make it align with the drawing when it nests,
Construction method type doesn't seem to be working
Trying to turn off the construction method for tops only. Its not listening per unit. so tried it in the wizard for the project and that didnt turn it off either. I have a feeling its because i set them all up with a chamfered top and thats overridden
Feature Request - Better Project Archiving
A recent post has made me think about archiving and the way it works currently and I think it could be improved. The request obviously is in a way that would benefit us, not sure about how everyone else does it but I would hope it would benefit a lot
Subassembly Prompts
Why is it, when i do things in the Subassembly Prompts area, i can't Save & Redraw when coming out of that area anymore. I am sure it did do that before the last update. So now when we Save & Close, we have to redraw on the drawing page. Very anoying.
Received a Stripe email? Here's what it means
If you recently received an email from Stripe with a subject of "Confirmation of direct debit authorization for Iron Logix Microvellum LLC", it's legitimate, and no, it does not mean you're about to be charged. Here's what's happening: INNERGY is migrating
Database Management - Option to export and remove project base on the year projects are created.
I am not sure if it could be done through SQL Server Management Studio. But it will be really helpful it it could be done using the Database management in Microvellum. We are facing delays processing workorders and reports generation, our database size

Is it possible to use the XLS import to bring in a room of products to an existing job and not just create a new project?
Just like the title states: Is it possible to use the XLS import to bring in a room of products to an existing job and not just create a new project? We are looking for a way to take a spreadsheet list of say Window Sills and import them into an existing
Complete MIcrovellum outage the other day
When Microvellum went out of everyone the other day the product prompt screen came up different for one of our engineers here. I've attached a pic of what his looks like now. just wondering if this happened to anyone else.

Hi All, I had a look though the forum but couldn't find anything the same as this. I am trying to edit a block but a message comes up.... please see attached. What does this mean & how can I solve this so I am able to edit blocks?
Moving Rear Linebore/Shelf Pin Holes to Face 6?
We use thick backs, fully captured, on our standard boxes and when processing, Microvellum will flip the back to machine their rabbets and also cut the part out without having to flip the piece on the CNC. When a rear linebore is added to a cabinet, however,
