lol.. suffice it to say I try very hard to ensure success in toothing, but its a process that can screw up occasionally..  When in doubt, change something..

Think I understand that  ???


But never mind I know the work around

Hi Ian:

  Yes, when toothing noncircular gears, your module, gear size, type and resolution will
have a definite effect and can cause a failed toothing. The next module to come out will
be formulaic gears and they will probably be worse. As it approaches impossible to tooth
a gear due to various constraints ( in non-circular tpyes of gears only..), the toothing
will fail and your advised to try various things.. (as you found) when changing tooth count. This is known as a degenerate condition, and I cant always see them in the creation or toothing process, so you will see this happen from time to time.


Thanks

Note more than 11 teeth and it seems ok

just got licence and playing with gearotic and noticed
