Also, it will be hard to adjust it to make it fit nicely if you have it far away from it - push the tooth right up against the gear so you can more easily tell when you've got a good fit from your adjustements.

Thanks Michael. It was the complex way I thought was not necessary. Am I forgetting the very simple way of doing this in other apps? (On the law of averages--I am wrong!)

Hi Brian, the only more simple way that I can think of is if a program has a specialized command to create that part.

Otherwise drawing one tooth like that and replicating it is the most simple way that I know of anyway...

These Gear Fonts can be good fun to use in MoI.
Is there anywhere I could send the zip file for access?

Hi Brian, those look cool - you should be able to post a .zip file as an attachment to a message right here as long as it is not too huge.

OK it did--all have fun.

This is a rewritten version of the original Spur Gear script

This Script has excellent examples of how to code for multiple factories, in htm, if I can understand them.

I see that the function factory(factoryname) is being passed more (parameter) arguments than are declared.
The "argument object "is being used to process the arguments.

The techniques of this script are perfect for a polyskelions script, because I need 2 interpcurve factories.
I've got the two curves coded up already.
The join and circular array will come in handy also. And sliders.

Hi Brian

This factory function trick I found in the old SpurGear script. :)
Unfortunatelly, I can't find the original thread and the author name of this script.

Hi Max,

Could you please explain what the re-written spur gear script does?

Thanks

See post #3 re Petr ?

I've been looking for a formula for internal spur gears...with ambiguous results so far.
I saw the factory function somewhere else awhile back.

OnClick is used again.

Thanks a lot Keith!
Very useful.

Ciao!

Interesting! Thanks! : - )

Hello, I made an update to the gear script.
It adds a checkbox for planetary gears, and creates properly-meshing ring-gear.
Simply Addendum and Dedendum values are switched.
