Thank you. I think I understand this better now. I found a Bevel Gear Schematic on Wikipedia showing how the cones have to converge.

I would like to use predetermined value for the cone pitches with different sized straight bevels. When I do change the values, they seemingly go back to some calculated number when adding the gears or on ReGen.

I would like to use 45 degrees on both cones and 90 degrees on the shaft when I have ...

Is there a good method for making two identical gears with the functional gears tool?

I can adjust vertices to make shapes appear similar, but not close enough to call identical. Is there any better option? Here's some of my imperfectly matching shapes.

A square with rounded corners:
0,1
45,1.35 ...

That's what I was missing. Thank you.

I'm slightly confused with the results of polar coordinates used by functional gears.

The following points(in degrees, distance) should result in one point directly above the other.
0,1
45,1.414

However, the second point is not placed as expected. With an imaginary triangle, two sides have ...
