To make the Hailfire Gear, I modeled one segment with one fin in 3DS Max. I exported it with the script I previously posted. Then, I spun the segment around with the following code. I also spun in 168 teeth from the gear tooth primative. // Hailfire (...) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Tonight I hammered out the Droid Wheel Gear. I used lots of sub parts, and I think it is pretty efficient, especially considering how many fins and teeth this thing has! I will post the dats in a follow up in plain text. (2 URLs) (19 years ago, 1-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

Ok, here is the dat file reposted, one more time. It doesn't include any of your suggestions yet. I will work on that. Thanks for the feedback.
