Excellent trick, thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Gee, thanks :-)

Your rotated gears seem perfectly placed, I was able to fit properly
connected beams around them:

Well, I disagree on the "perfectly placed" part - your model has a bit of
free space between the black gear and the 1/2 stud bush.

I've nudged things a bit and got this:

It's wrong anyway - if you center the camera on the axle for the black wheel
and zoom in, you'll see that the axle is off-center even so slightly. If I
nudge the pieces a tiny bit closer to correct that (by 0.01 mm), LDD thinks
that the gears collide.

Man, I hate floating point arithmetics.


Oh yes - and believe me, LDD guys are aware of that!

So, can we have "LDD AFOL edition: now with 'turn the damn collisions off'
button!" ??

:-)
