right hand and left hand helical.

Post by kevin long »

i am having trouble getting a left handed helical gear in gt.  i have left the right handed boxes unchecked as well as checked and the running simulator shows them both to be right handed either way.  any ideas of what i'm doing wrong here?

thanks !!!!!!

Then they will always be both RH.

If they were in line i.e. shaft angles at 0 degrees then you need a right and a left to mesh.

Hi:

The left/right labels I believe are bugged and backwards..Ill fix that up. Also, you need to press
regen after changing the selection.. (Ill fix that too.. )

Thx
