Teeth
Denes the number of teeth for the cogwheel.
Inner Radius, Middle Radius, Outer Radius
The overall size of the cogwheel is dened by Outer Radius, while Inner Radius denes the depth of the
teeth. For avid mathematicians: Depth of teeth = (outer radius – inner radius). The third value, Middle
Radius, gives the height at which any bevel will start to take effect (see Bevel below).
The three radii of a cogwheel.
Bevel
As already mentioned, in addition to an inner and outer radius that dene their depth, the teeth have
another value, Bevel, that can be used to create different degrees of sharpness. This is entered as a
percentage from 0% (no bevel) to 100% (pointed teeth). The bevel starts to take effect from Middle
Radius.
