Gear tool won't work
-
I've been trying to use the gear tool to make a simple gear train and I can't get it to work. I tried making 2 wheels with the wheel tool and it wouldn't make any so I made 2 wheels of my own with hinges grouped to each one. When I used the joint connector on one hinge to connect it to the other hinge it said "create gear between hinge and hinge" and then when i ran the simulation it the 2 wheels just rolled around as I dragged them as if they weren't connected to anything. Why is this? Oh yeah the wheel and door tools won't work but the lift one does.

Oh yeah. I'm using sp3x by the way

Me too, i've tried getting a worm gear and i've had the same problem. I wonder what is wrong......

...works for me, but the first time I tried It was a bit harder than expected. You should post the model on the forum and i'll have a look.

Gears can be very finicky. Make sure you are clicking on the joint and not the object+joint group.
Wheel and door work fine for me. Make sure you have a floor or some other object when you are trying to create something. They need an object to connect to.
If that isn't the problem post a model and I will take a look.
