Hi, I have installed BRL-CAD from debian package: brlcad_7.20.6-0_amd64.deb on my Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid system. How can I make a cog wheel using mged, or archer? -- Regards from Pal |

Do you mean something like this: http://brlcad.org/tmp/gear/ ? It's question 15 here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1010480 Daniel 2012/5/13 Csanyi Pal <csa...@gm...>: > Hi, > > I have installed BRL-CAD from debian package: > brlcad_7.20.6-0_amd64.deb > > on my Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid system. > > How can I make a cog wheel using mged, or archer? > > -- > Regards from Pal |

Thanks! > I can now start to create it. Thanks again! If anyone is feeling ambitious, that simple gear example would make for a great replication tutorial up on the wiki. Same to you, Pal, if you wanted write a tutorial (using your cog images instead) while you learn it. There are already a bunch of tutorials at http://brlcad.org/wiki/ ( such as http://brlcad.org/wiki/Lighting ) where it would fit in perfectly. Everything needed for a write-up is in that http://brlcad.org/tmp/gear/ directory. Any takers? Cheers! Sean |

That's great Tom! Given the page length, each of those questions really begs for a brief summary/title wrapped in ='s so a menu is added.. Otherwise, I think that's probably useful to have up there regardless. Cheers! Sean |

Yeah, I started that but I put it off until I could get the basic format reasonable. I'll work on it. I would add the link to the main page but I can't because that page is restricted for my account.

The menu is added automatically by default if you just prefix each section/question with =Title=. Might be a good start. > I would add the link to the main page but I can't because that page is > restricted for my account. Fixed and now already too. The main page is locked down to help minimize spam. Cheers! Sean |

I'll work on it. A set of titles is there now for critique. I also removed the header note and put on a referenced page to clean up the FAQ. Best, -Tom |

Awesome, that looks great! I gave it another read-through as was reminded of a bunch of little to-do actions that particular discussion sparked (like renaming ambiguous menu items). Thanks for getting that one up there. Cheers! Sean |

Ah, the TODO list expands once more. > Thanks for getting that one up there. You're welcome, it was my pleasure (and I'm going to look at those rtwizard, red, and vls fixes real soon). Cheers! -Tom |

How can I get a shape in BRL-CAD that has surface derivated somehow from an Involute of a circle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involute http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear Here is interesting the head: "Tooth profile". -- Regards from Pal |

Sorry, I can't find spare time in the past year to create this tutorial. In the secondary school (where I'm a teacher) I tried out the FreeCAD with my pupils. It's not so good so far and hasn't such rendering capability as BRL-CAD has. However, BRL-CAD is not for this age-group too. -- Regards, Pál Csányi |
