      The plugin works, but when starting SU8 I get:
      "Error Loading File MJGrundman_SPGears.rb
      uninitialized constant MJGrundman::SPGears::EXTENSION"

      Any conflict with another plugin? I've had it on another computer before with no problems.

        It doesn't appear to be but who knows?

        But if... someday. There are a lot of parameters here, but 2D.

          It's trivial to make them 3D in SketchUp from there, though.

              Download and import the .dxf file, make the faces and extrude with Push/Pull. All fundamental parts of using SketchUp.

              Makes better gear components than SP Gears does, too.

                Yes I know. That's what I do. I was forced to look for a gear generator because I needed a rack gear.

                But there is nothing like in the plugin, i.e. HELIX and BEVEL.

                    Drawing racks in Sketchup shouldn't be this hard. was very weak

                    It doesn't have to be hard. Depends on what version of SketchUp you are using. Your profile indicates you are using 2023 Free/Make. That version is wed based and that doesn't have any option to use extensions like this. How are you intending to use your rack and pinion? Is it for 3D printing or some other manufacturing process?

                    I made this in SketchUp Pro. Quite simple to model without a plugin.

                        I'm modeling for 3D printing. by the way, i am a new sketcup member, i am a student, i am just learning. thank you for your answer.

                        Since you are new to SketchUp, I would suggest that you spend some time learning to use the basic tools. That will make it easier for you to create the models you want.

                        If you read the first post in this thread you will see the author's warning that the gears drawn with this extension will not be accurate enough for 3D printing.

                        Again, please correct your forum profile. You must be using SketchUp 2023 Pro if you are able to use extensions.
