GearGen script update

Scripting
1

Hi guys,

If anyone is still using this old script for gears, there is now a small update to fix issues related to when a circle has been edited via boxEdit (thanks to @Ian for pointing this out).
VBscript version (2020.09.08): gearGen.rvb (23.3 KB)

Also, I went ahead and ported the script into python. If you want to take it for a spin, let me know if you see any glaring bugs.
Python version (2020.09.10): GearFromCircle.py (21.9 KB)

Note1: The python version is renamed as “GearFromCircle”
Note2: The python version is coded in an object oriented approach and is smaller; hopefully easier to read if anyone wants to continue it’s development in the future by adding features and such

EDIT:

  1. The script is now also found in the FoodForRhino site here: GearFromCircle
  2. Direct link (most recent code): GearGen

The scripts are also uploaded to the main site here --> GearGen

If anyone tries the Python version on Windows and Mac, let me know if there any issues. Thanks.

Hi @ThomasAn_,

This nice work would be discovered more if you posted it here:

Thanks for the tip. I notice there are a few other gear generators on that site. So this script might now be redundant in view of those, I don’t know. Unless, people prefer the simple Rhino-like command line interface of the original GearGen
