@HackaweekTV - you're right. I would take this as an excercise. My approach would probably be making the one tooth a 'component' before rotate-duplicating it, then after the duplication, make the entire gear a component. Duplicate the gear and rotate it (360 / 2 / teeth) degrees and move those two gears close together. I'd then start modifying one of the teeth, and you'll see that the shape of all the teeth changes at the same time. Now you should be able to choose the shape, depending on whether you want a strong gear or a gear that does not wear quickly. I hope this makes you hungry for trying out some things. =) @TheSketchUpEssentials - A real great video Justin. Makes me want to make gears now; I have a few models with "missing gears", so now I can go and finish those. Thank you. :)

Sorry for the note, but!!! If you want to make copies by rotate tool, you need to type one less copy, because you made one already, for example to make 18 teeth, type “x17”, not “x18”. No offense. P. S. A person who makes such content, got to know this, so many people watching you.

As a person who makes such content, I know that it doesn't matter in this case because it's raw geometry that just merges into itself. It's actually MORE of a time saver to understand that in this case it doesn't matter as long as the teeth go all the way around the gear.

Correct. There's an "Involute Gear" plugin by Doug Herrmann and Michael Curry, which you may find interesting. If you want a 1 Module gear with 16 teeth, enter '16' for teeth, '20' for pressure angle and '8' for pitch radius (eg. pitch-radius is half the pitch-diameter, pitch diameter = same as number of teeth for 1M gears). If you want 0.5M gears, enter number of teeth / 4 for pitch radius. Formula: pitch radius = M * (teeth / 2).

Great video! A method I use is to create components of each tooth, so that you can simultaneously modify every tooth shape. If you include the core of the gear, you can also modify the inside of the tooth. You could further divide each tooth in half, as a component, so you would only have to modify half of each tooth.

Instead of calculating the number of degrees you need, one can just select the object to rotate, choose Rotate 'Q', choose the rotation-point then hit control (alternate on Mac) for copy, type 360 and hit return (360 would be the number of degrees to rotate the object), and now type '/10' to get 10 copies. Note: Using this method, you'll get an extra copy (you'll notice this when you rotate groups or components). In that case you may want to hit backspace or delete, to delete the 'double'. I often rotate groups and components; often I open a group and rotate+copy the contents. Rotating+copying a component (without opening it) also allows me to edit just one component and see the effects of my editing in real-time; this is great for things like 'meshing gear teeths' (yea, I do use a plug-in for creating involute gears). Note: Justin already knows about the /nnn feature; I think I learned it from watching videos on this channel.
