What's new

What's new in MuebleMIO

The major updates to the editor, the app and the assistant, from newest to oldest.

  1. New

    Door styles and a new sheet optimizer

    Every hinged door has "Door style", and the optimizer makes better use of sheets: edge trim, saw cuts on the diagram and PDF, and rotating pieces to save sheets. Plus the Magic Cube Pull-out, Community plans and several fixes.

    • Door style: in the Doors group of any piece of furniture, choose Standard (board), Aluminium and glass, Rebated frame, Tongue and groove frame, 45° mitred frame with rebate or with groove, or Hollowed with rebate. Set the frame width, the rebate or groove, and whether the centre is glass or board.
    • Wood doors come out complete in the cut list (rails and stiles with their rebate, groove or tenon, plus the glass or panel to size). Aluminium doors don't, since they're ordered from an aluminium shop: we show you each leaf's size.
    • The aluminium and glass colours are chosen in the parameters and show in 3D; if you paint a piece yourself, it keeps your colour.
    • Magic Cube: new "Replace with Pull-out" option (spice-rack style tower with trays, overlay or inset, with or without a front).
    • New sheet optimizer: it lays out each sheet in strips, like a panel saw, and tries to empty the least-used sheet so you don't end up with an extra sheet for one or two loose pieces. It tries cutting lengthwise and crosswise and picks what uses fewer sheets and fewer cuts.
    • Edge trim: in "Calculate sheets" you set how much is trimmed off each sheet edge (10 mm by default, 0 for backs).
    • Saw cuts: the diagram and the PDF show a line for every saw pass, and you see the total number of cuts for the job, each material and each sheet.
    • Rotate pieces: in the result, pick several pieces and tap "Rotate"; their grain changes in your project and the layout is recalculated. If rotating a piece saves a sheet, we suggest it with an "Apply" button.
    • Community: some projects made by MuebleMio users are now published as plans with the "Community" tag.
    • Fixes: edge banding now shows on every shape (bevel, glass rebate, groove, tenon, hollow with glass); the edge banding length of flipped or rotated pieces inside a dynamic component was deducted from the wrong edge; and the Cut List no longer shows pieces that aren't cut.
    • Optimizer fixes: the result looked shifted sideways on phones (now everything wraps and is more compact); the PDF always said 3 mm blade even with a different blade; and cut lines didn't show in the PDF. In the app, cut lines, total cuts and edge trim arrive with version 1.0.9; rotating pieces is on the web for now.

  2. Fixes: shaped pieces and animations

    Shaped pieces show their edge banding and animations are no longer lost.

    • Shaped pieces (diagonal cut, chamfer, rounded…): you now see their edge banding in the scene, also inside a dynamic component.
    • Mirrored pieces: they keep their mirroring when you convert them to a dynamic component (the cut used to end up on the opposite side).
    • Animations: when you use Edit freely, each piece gets back all its animations, not just the first one.
    • Animations in published plans: the lid or door you animated opens correctly when you open the plan and after you change its measurements.
    • Piece shapes: sides and corners are now named like the edge banding ("L1 - length", "A1 - width", "Corner - L1 · A1"), in the parameters and in the cut list.

  3. Editor fixes: edge banding, handles and dynamic components

    Your edge banding, handles and gaps now stay put when you convert, stretch or break apart your furniture.

    • Edge banding: the edges you change with the Edge banding tool are no longer lost when you convert to a dynamic component or use Edit freely. On shelves and dividers, changing an edge updates all of them, just like the parameters, and both stay in sync.
    • Anchored handles: they now stay stuck to their drawer or door. They follow it when you open, move, rotate, stretch or group the furniture, also inside a dynamic component and even if it was saved open.
    • Dynamic components inside each other: projects with several levels can now be saved (it used to fail with no explanation). You can nest up to 5, and we let you know if you go over.
    • Gaps of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 13 mm: they stay fixed when you stretch a dynamic component, like a board's thickness. Applies to what you convert from now on.
    • Furniture rotated a few degrees no longer ends up with bloated boards when you convert it to a dynamic component: it keeps its thickness and angle.
    • Plans are always published and opened closed. In the app, these fixes arrive with version 1.0.9.

  4. Rate MuebleMio and get your cut list for free

    With the free plan you can now get the cut list of your Build projects, we congratulate you on your first one and you can leave us your review. Plus, a Free/Premium filter when adding components.

    • Cut lists on the free plan: get the sheets and measurements of your Build projects with up to 50 pieces, as long as all their plans are free. If the project has premium plans, we tell you which ones. In the app's Optimize tab it arrives with version 1.0.9.
    • Rate us: when you get your first cut list we congratulate you and you can rate MuebleMio with stars and tell us what you think. Reviews show on the home page and on the Reviews page.
    • Free / Premium filter: in Build's Add component you can show only free or only premium plans, and each category shows how many are left.
    • App catalog: premium plans now show in gold, you can filter Free / Premium and, on the free plan, tapping a premium plan adds it to Build so you can view and move it. In the app it arrives with version 1.0.9.
    • Free move: when you drop a piece with the yellow circle, the exact distance box and Duplicate show up, just like with the arrows.
    • Fixes: animations you set inside a dynamic component now move when you open a published plan (before they did nothing), and the page scrollbar now looks light (before it showed up black).

  5. Draw pieces and cubes with guides, live measurements and Guide cube

    When creating pieces or cubes, the floor works like grid paper and you see the size as you draw. New three-click Guide cube, snapping to each piece's midpoint, and new pieces that grow toward the right side.

    • Guides while drawing: with Create piece, Magic Cube or Guide cube, the floor snaps every 50 mm and the volume height goes up in 50 mm steps; while drawing you see the width, length and height on screen.
    • Three-click Guide cube: start, end and height, no face to pick. It's inside the Magic Cube options, and on the web with the B key. Holding Shift while drawing or stretching (web) makes measurements go in 5 mm steps.
    • Midpoint snapping: besides corners, it now snaps to the middle of each edge and the center of each face (blue dot) when drawing, dimensioning or moving. A selected piece can be dragged from its midpoint.
    • New pieces on the right side: if a new piece would end up inside another board, it grows the other way; drawn between two boards, it goes in between them.
    • More complete loose piece: glass rebate on the edges (also with angle or diagonal cuts), and in a dynamic component the groove, hinges and plates adapt to any size; Edit freely on a flipped one returns the pieces with their shape.
    • Drawers: the box's bottom and top margins now go up to 500 mm.
    • Fixes: the selection outline no longer shows the back edges and hidden corners can't be grabbed by mistake; undo in a panel field no longer loops (first the text, then the piece); right-click with Create piece closes the tool and opens the menu; starting another drawing releases the previous piece; the optimization PDF shows each piece's full name, with lettering sized to small pieces; and when picking the Magic Cube's front, the hint appears above the cube.

  6. Free plans fully editable, Premium on display and diagonal pieces

    You can now change everything in free plans, thickness included; Premium plans can go in your project to see them. In the editor, rotated or angle-cut pieces now join properly on the diagonal, and sheet calculation runs from your dashboard.

    • Free plans, fully editable: thickness and the other options that used to be Pro-only can now be changed in any free plan, even those built on a Premium structure.
    • Premium plans on display: with the free plan you can add a Premium plan to your project in the editor to see and move it; editing its measurements and options requires Pro. In the catalog, Premium plans show in gold and you can filter Free or Premium.
    • Calculate sheets from your dashboard (web): tap Calculate sheets on a project and choose that one or select several; set up the sheets right there and see the result, without going through the optimizer.
    • Diagonal pieces in the editor: rotated or angle-cut pieces now collide by their real shape (before they hit the air around their outline) and snap face to face, so you can build things like a tree bookshelf with no gaps.
    • Diagonal moves and shortcuts (web): hold Shift and the move arrows turn diagonal; X, Y or Z followed by 1, 2 or 3 aligns with the previous piece without opening the menu. All shortcuts are now listed at the end of the editor's Help.
    • Fixes: the My Reports tab in the dashboard kept loading forever; it now opens normally. And importing a project in the editor now tells you upfront that it's a Pro feature, instead of loading the list and failing when you pick one. And when you add a small component, the camera no longer zooms right onto it: it stays at a comfortable distance. Also, changing the thickness or another list option now updates the piece instantly, and the floor grid and shadow follow the piece again when you move it away.

  7. Faster dashboard, handles that stay anchored and a more complete tutorial

    Your projects open much faster, anchored handles keep following their door or drawer even when you convert, explode or duplicate the furniture, and 3D models now show up in the tutorial.

    • Each project's pieces and scene load only when you open or optimize it.
    • Anchored handles: they keep following their door or drawer when you turn a group into a dynamic component, put a component inside another, explode it with Edit freely, or duplicate a group. Right-click a piece of a dynamic component to anchor or unanchor it without exploding it.
    • Tutorial: a red X below Dimensions to exit the tutorial at any step.
    • On a computer, Ctrl+A (⌘+A on Mac) saves an image of your design.
    • Fixes: chairs and other 3D models show up again in the plan preview; the colors of a project that came from a published plan appear when you reopen it; and handles, legs and other 3D catalog models now have their own tutorial step (they used to be missing, also in saved projects); and when you convert to a dynamic component, a rotated chair or other 3D model no longer turns into a box, and Edit freely brings it back as the model it was.

  8. Several pieces of furniture at once, flip in X or Z, hiding by levels and fixes

    Select several pieces of furniture and move, rotate, stretch, flip or turn them into a dynamic component without grouping them. Plus, Flip now works in X or Z around the center, and you can hide pieces, components or whole groups.

    • Move and rotate several pieces of furniture together without grouping them: select them and use the usual gizmo; they keep their distances and snap with the magnet like a single piece.
    • Stretch several at once: with several selected, Stretch takes each one's face to the same point, so they end up aligned.
    • Turn several pieces into a dynamic component without grouping them first, from the right toolbar or the right-click menu.
    • Flip now works in X or Z around the center of the furniture, so it stays in the same place: tap Flip and choose the red line (X) or the blue one (Z). It also works with several selected, without grouping.
    • Reorder a dynamic component's tutorial like in a group (Tutorial steps): each board moves on its own and each component inside moves as one block with all its steps.
    • Hide pieces has two options, Piece and Whole, and right-click adds Hide component and Hide group. Inside a group you can now hide single pieces, and everything comes back with Show all.
    • Measure works inside a group, without ungrouping.
    • New shortcuts: M for Measure, V for Flip, E for Hide pieces and Ctrl+E (⌘+E on Mac) for Show all.
    • New drawers come with a 20 mm Drawer Top Margin by default.
    • Edit freely also works on a flipped dynamic component and is much faster: it asks for all the pieces at once.
    • Safe thickness: when you change the material thickness of a dynamic component, only the boards with the furniture's thickness change; a 3 mm back or a 6 mm mirror stay as they are, so the cut list doesn't move. If a board no longer fits in the thickness that holds it, we warn you.
    • In the cut list, a thickness a few tenths off (3.2, 15.08) goes to its sheet (3, 15), keeping the thicknesses you added yourself.
    • The plans gallery and the editor load faster.
    • Fixes: a rotated Magic Cube stays a cube inside the dynamic component (it opens and stretches correctly) and Edit freely gives it back as a cube; paint you remove no longer comes back; the group's tutorial is kept when converting; and the Piece edge banding window is easier to read; and a flipped piece of furniture or group no longer comes back unflipped when reopening the project, undoing, ungrouping or in published plans; a flipped Magic Cube also stays a cube; anchored handles follow their drawer when you open or import a published plan; and in the update notice, “Don't save” now actually updates.

  9. Anchor to a piece, doors on the Magic Cube and parameters on tap

    Handles follow their door, the Magic Cube takes hinged doors and the panel jumps to the piece you tap.

    • Anchor to a piece and lid-style openings: A handle (or any object) now moves along with the door, drawer or lid you anchor it to, and Animate can also open pieces as a lid.
    • Magic Cube: replace with Hinged Doors: You can now put hinged doors on the Magic Cube: draw the opening and choose Replace with Hinged Doors.
    • Tap a piece and its parameters open by themselves: With the Parameters panel open, tap any piece of the furniture in 3D and the panel jumps straight to the group that controls it. No more getting lost between levels.

  10. Drawn Magic Cube, hinges on any piece and a clearer cut list

    Draw the Magic Cube in its exact place, mark any piece as a door and get an easier-to-read cut list PDF.

    • Magic Cube: draw it like a piece: Now you draw the Magic Cube right where it goes: start, end, volume and the face that goes in front.
    • Hinges on any piece: Mark a piece as a door and the cut list adds its hinge holes and counts the hinges in the hardware.
    • Clearer cut list and PDF: Sheets are shown large in the PDF and piece shapes are easy to tell apart. In the app it arrives with version 1.0.9.

  13. Animate, metals and glass, 3D models and a faster editor

    Animate any piece, paint with metals and colored glass, set the scene with real 3D models and work faster with right-click.

    • Animate pieces, components and groups: Anything in your design can now move when you press Open: a lid that lifts, a unit that slides out on rails, a wheel that spins.
    • A faster editor: right-click, Shift + click and zoom: Everything you can do with a piece of furniture, one right-click away.
    • Metals and tinted glass: Paint handles, legs and profiles with a metallic finish, and use tinted glass on doors and shelves.
    • Refrigerators, stoves and accessories in 3D: Dress up your design with real 3D models from the catalog: they show with their textures and never slip into the cut list.

  14. Piece shapes: cuts, miters, openings and tongue and groove

    The Extra Piece is no longer just a rectangle: it draws the cut in 3D and carries it to the cut list and the sheet.

    • Angled and diagonal cuts, on the face or on the edge (miter), rounded corners, round piece, tenon and corner notch.
    • Opening with a margin on each edge and a rebate for the glass; edge groove and tongue for tongue and groove.
    • Glass, mirror and pine textures to paint pieces, and the eyedropper to copy one piece’s color to another.
    • In the cut list, the Shape column and the cut drawn on each piece of the sheet.

  15. Dynamic components and SketchUp

    Turn a group into furniture that stretches with its dimensions, and take your designs to SketchUp (and back).

    • Dynamic components: Build a unit from pieces and components, group it and turn it into a single one that stretches with width, height, depth and thickness.
    • Export and import SketchUp: Take your design to SketchUp as a .dae file, or bring a SketchUp model into the editor as pieces you can edit.

  17. AI design assistant

    Tell it in words what you want to change in the selected unit and the assistant sets its parameters for you.

    • "Put 4 drawers at the bottom", "make it 1.80 wide", "swap it for a built-in wardrobe": it knows the craft of each plan.
    • It uses the editor tools: move, rotate, paint, comment on pieces, save and undo.
