  • Body Radius: The radius of the wheel, without the teeth.
  • Tooth Height: How far the teeth stick out of the wheel.
  • Teeth: How many teeth.
  • Thickness: The thickness of the wheel.
  • Hole Radius: The radius of the hole.
  • Corner Radius: Rounds the edges, including around the teeth and the hole.
  • Corner Seg.: How smooth the rounding is. With 1, the corner becomes a straight bevel.

Two gears mesh when they have the same tooth height and the distance between their centers is the sum of their radii.
