Liciano, What is a face gear? Mike

A gear with tooth on the front in stead of on the side.

If you know the sections, you can do a swept blend OR Variable Section Sweep to make one.. then pattern that and you get the full teeth. regards Joe. ---------------------------------------------- you can find some tips at... http://tipsfromjoe.blogspot.com ----------------------------------------------

I thank you for the suggestion. But my problem is to create a face/frontal gear that gears with a pinion of which i know module and number of tooth. So the problem is to identify the 2 sections for create swept blend: they must combine with the evolvente profile of the pinion. Thanks Regards, Luciano
