Disclaimer
Plugin doesn't check interferences automatically and doesn't perform any analysis of prepared components. Please make sure that the necessary check is done before releasing this onto production. You must be aware that real dimensions of manufactured components may be different than in the design. Every material has different characteristics and its parameters may change during time depending on the kind of material, temperature and humidity of environment, workload, etc. Simplest motion analysis can be done by using joints and motion rules prepared by the plugin. Both involute and trochoid interferences can be checked by eyes but there’s better, dedicated built-in tool (TOOLS Interference) available in Autodesk® Fusion 360™.
Perfect. This is the third plugin I purchased from Shwivel. All of his plugins are very well made, high quality, and have lots of parameters. I highly reccomend it, as it can save you lots of time.
If you have to iterate even once on a gear, this plugin will pay for itself.
Exactly what I needed. Also purchased Shwivel's bevel gear plugin and it is excellent as well!
Had a little issue with the installer package on mac, but once the plugin was installed this worked beautifully.
