Microvellum Foundation Library Release Notes | Build 25.0319

Microvellum Foundation Library Release Notes | Build 25.0319

The following release notes apply to Microvellum Foundation Library build 25.0319.

Alert
This update introduces many new global variables. Any existing projects will naturally not contain these new variables, causing issues when adding new products to these projects. Because of this, Microvellum recommends doing one of three options:
  1. Finish out all projects before updating to this library version
  2. Update library, then revert the global file within each active project. You will need to redo any previously made global settings.
  3. Update library, then identify and add all the newly added global variables from the template to your custom project global file. (advanced)

Additions

  1. Added the ability to control the language of most all product part name strings.
    1. Currently supports English, French, Spanish. 
    2. Added a new Lookup Table to the Factory workbook, “LookupTablePartNames”.
    3. Added a new Global Variable, “Region Language”. 
    4. This setting can also be used to abbreviate or change the English name/phrase of all product parts.
Notes
After updating your library to this build, you will need to revert the Global File within any existing project using the previous version. Or alternatively, one can manually add the “Region Language” variable to avoid errors in part names.
  1. Added 18 new global variables for greater control over default cabinet top & bottom conditions:
    1. “Base Overlay Top”
    2. “Base Full Top”
    3. “Base Rails”

    5. “Base Full Bottom”
    6. “Base No Bottom”
    7. “Tall Overlay Top”
    8. “Tall Full Top”
    9. “Tall Rails”
    10. “Tall Overlay Bottom”
    11. “Tall Full Bottom”
    12. “Tall No Bottom”

  1. Added additional functionality to the Master Horizontal Designer Cabinet.
    1. An option is now available to turn on a bottom drawer for each bay in the local product. This still uses the Component Door-Drawer subassembly but removes the need to turn it on through the subassembly.
    2. An option is now available to have a top fascia in each bay of the product. It is recommended to turn on the fascia through the product rather than the Component Door-Drawer subassembly.
  1. Features have been added to the Solid Wood Door subassembly:
    1. Options are now available to have up to 5 center panels horizontally and 5 panels vertically.
    2. Users can now select between Full Length Rails or Full Length Stiles.
    3. Two new options have been added to assist with Applied FE multi panel conditions where adjacent cabinets bump up to the applied panel. 
      1. Simple Panel Calculation – When selected, users can enter the height/depth of adjacent Base & Upper cabinets. Panel sizes and locations will automatically adjust to accommodate.
      2. Custom Panel Calculation – When selected, users can specify quantity of Stiles and Rails to add. Prompts allow one to enter each Style & Rail position.
    4. Doors with Lite Qty added to them will now display in 2D elevation. Also resolved positioning issues with the 3D glass parts.
  1. Added the global variable “Hinge Half Overlay Threshold”. This is used to control the point at which a hinge is considered half overlay instead of full overlay.
  1. Added two new Wall Hanger options: Hafele US Wall Hangar 290.02.715 (LH) & 290.02.714 (RH). Also added a new Wall Rail product.
  1. Added a Drawer option to Sink Cabinets.
  1. Added enhancements/changes to the Connecting Holes feature:
    1. Added a new global variable "Connecting Hole Max Spacing" and linked to all connecting hole machine tokens (Distance Between Holes). This will enable more than two holes in height per column of holes.
    2. Added a new global variable, "G!Connecting_Hole_Condition", with options to set it to left or right sides, both, or none.
    3. Global variable “G!Cabinet_Connecting_Holes” is no longer used.
    4. Added an option to have connecting holes on the scribe filler subassembly.
  1. Added a new global variable “Dado_Depth_At_Division”, which allows a different dado depth for fixed shelves when intersecting divisions. Also added subassembly prompts “Dado Depth Left” and “Dado Depth Right” at the relevant conditions.
  1. Added 2 new Undermount drawer runners DTC D-Motion (No Graphics)
    1. DS10 Soft-Close

Alert
The issue above cannot be with a library update but is resolved upon installing the build. It is recommended to manually correct this prior to updating if you have a previous library version.
  1. Resolved multiple issues with Master Horizontal Designer Cabinet:
    1. An issue with the top facia being out in the Z origin and having no gap between the facia and the doors has been resolved.
    2. Fixed the issue with the Drawer Stretcher being out of alignment in the X origin.
    3. Fixed issue with door half overlay condition that would sometimes be full overlay.
  1. Resolved an issue with Base 7 Drawer. The Z origin for the sixth drawer box will now be correct.
  1. Resolved a regression issue with the Solid Wood Door subassembly. Value cells on the Prompts worksheet were incorrectly shifted by one row, causing problems with the calculation of hidden prompts.
  1. The default construction method for Filler Cleats no longer pointing to "G!Default_Construction_Method_FE". The method is now set to “Dado” by default, and can be controlled in the subassembly.
  1. Resolved an issue with MV Profile Door where sometimes extra routes incorrectly appeared off the panel.
  1. Formula changes have been applied throughout all products in the library where the use of “ProductCode” special MV system function has been replaced with “Product_Type” instead. This simplifies many aspects of its use and allows the user to change the Interface Language inside the MV options.
  1. Improvements and corrections made to Corner Fillers within Blind Corner cabinets.
  1. Added prompts to control the Corner Filler type, "Corner_Filler_Type" and "Corner_Filler_Style".
  1. Fixed an issue with the prompt value for the Blind Facia looking at "Blind_Panel_Type" instead of "Blind_Panel_Style".
  1. Both "Blind_Panel_Style" and "Corner_Filler_Style" will default to "Plank" when selecting a Generic Five Piece.
  1. Fixed an issue in the Generic Five Piece subassembly where the edge profiles were not linked to the outside profile prompts so you could not turn off individual edges.
  1. Resolved an issue with hanger notches when used at finished ends with scribe. Notch depth will now include the scribe distance.
  1. Resolved an issue where sometimes the "Drawer Front Height" calculator would sometimes be missing certain drawer fronts.
  1. Added missing drawer lengths 550mm and 600mm for King Slide 3M52 (Wood drawer Slide).
  1. Added missing drawing blocks for certain LEGRABOX lengths.
  1. Resolved an issue with the KD hardware ("G!Use KD At Bench Back") feature. Hardware will now be centered in the cabinet opening.
  1. Updated Blind Corner cabinets when used with Shadowline rails. Notch machining in Stretcher will now align with Shadowline Rail.
  1. Resolved an issue with ViewBase cross section when sinks are undermounted.
  1. Resolved an issue with all Scribe Filler products and Scribe Filler With Cleats so that they work correctly when the fillers are less than the "Minimum_Filler_Width". This involved changing Base Points, Machine Point, and X Origins of parts when changing from a left to right filler. 
  1. Resolved an issue with the Extruded Countertop products where control of size and position of the elbow joint was not possible when the left & right segments were different. Also, the substrate has been added to the Elbow subassembly.
  1. Resolved an issue with the Bay Opening Calculator in Master Office Horizontal Open Designer Cabinet.
  1. Resolved an issue with Master Split Cabinet when used with a Cabinet Modification Option Notch Left/Right and a Double Center Shelf. The double center shelf will now contain the appropriate cuts and the back will be split in two.
  1. When cabinets reach a certain depth, and parts with Dado construction reach the "G!Dado_Small_Part_Threshold" value, they will now look to the "G!Dado_Small_Part_Notch_Distance_To_Edge" instead of always using "G!Dado_Notch_Distance_to_Edge".
  1. For the Box End and other similar products, we have added a prompt “Machine Miters” under the construction tab. This will activate the PLINE token with actual machining instead of “draw only” miters.
  1. Resolved an issue with Profile Handle option “Splay” when used on a lift up or drop down door. 
  1. Resolved duplicate prompts inside the Divisions subassembly.
  1. Resolved an issue with drawer stretchers inside Door-Drawer cabinets. Added “Drawer Stretcher Offset” prompt.

  1. Updated machining for Lamello Cabineo hardware. Increased the edge overhang to 5mm.
  1. Resolved an issue with dwg graphics for the Harn Alunan drawer system, T height, 400mm depth. Updated 6 dwg graphics.
  1. Drawer System Hettich AvanTech now has “Cut to Length Wood Back” set as default.
  1. Resolved an issue with Master Split Corner Cabinet when using Applied Ends with the global variable “Include Applied Ends in Cabinet Width”. Right hand swing door will now be correctly positioned.
  1. Updated the 3D Graphics for Kessebohmer BLIND CORNER LeMans II with significantly smaller file sizes (500 MB to 32 MB), improving Toolbox performance. Also resolved hole drilling location issue.
  1. All handle/pull hardware will now point their drilling diameter to the global variable “G!Handle_Hole_Diameter” instead of hard locked “5 mm”.
  1. “Toe Kick Height” prompt is now hidden in Upper Corner Cabinets.
  1. Made improvements & corrections to the HAWA Concepta III:
    1. Hinge machining now follows the global “G!Hinge_cup_machining”.
    2. Resolved the panel drilling and incorrect 5mm holes to be 3mm.
    3. The End Stop Bracket now has a prompt value to set its distance in the "Hardware" Tab. This allows the user to adjust the depth from the front of the cabinet. 
    4. Added a prompt under Face Options to allow the user to turn off straightener routes and hardware if desired.
    5. Added Bi-Fold door options including related extra hardware & 3D graphics.

Additions/Resolutions Face Frame Cabinetry

  1. Added a new global variable, “Face Frame At FE Use Default Side Overlay” to control whether you want the side overlays to adhere to the default global or to default to the product option and default to outside overlay when using finished ends or applied ends.
