How do I get one gear to spin another?
I have a couple of proper involute spur gears, imported from DXF. How do I get one to spin the other? I have their properties set to iron, collision with peers is on. What I get is when I try to rotate one it just hits the teeth on the other and stops instead of rotating the other gear.

Make sure friction is very low, also sometimes linking rotation values in the LE with a math multiplier helps also (very exact)

Would be nice if Dave Wilson would release his trueSpace stuff if he's no longer working on it. All I find searching for it are a bunch of sites offering it for sale, but how does one know if the author actually gets any of the money?
