(...) I don't expect it to be a problem, but if you do see seams, you can always have the subfile contain two blades, in which case the alignment between the files becomes exact. --Travis (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) No, it's not an issue. Within a reasonable amount of error, of course. If subfiles are positioned orthoganally to each other, there should be no alignment errors. With this part, that's not possible. You can reduce the size of the calculation (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

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.

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.
