Example: I have two gears I can change the size and teeth number via sliders and they accomodate and update according to the middle radius. However my Xpresso is stuck at offsetting the second gear along the Global Position X Axis using the radius of the first gear and adding it to the radius of the second geat to get the total offset distance. I have this number now and want to use it to set the second gear via slider to any point around the circumference of the first gear. I could use this number to change the radius of a circle spline and use the spline node and slider to move the second gear around the circle spline to the position I want but I know there is a more elegant piece of math to do this. Srek?
