Cogwheel Object
Various cog wheels with different settings, as Child objects of an Extrude object.The Cogwheel object, in addition to involute toothing, offers a wide range of settings for creating various types of spokes, ratchets, radial spokes and more.
The Cogwheel object offers a legacy mode that lets older cogwheel projects be loaded.
Tip:
Due to numerous technical dependencies amongst the settings, the preset involute toothing cannot be modified freely as in the past. Enabling the Legacy Mode will let you modify the settings freely (however, it will no longer be an involute toothing).
