On my previous experience, when I was creating 100 same size small holes around circle, I did copy them in a rotate way one by one, as the number is still acceptable, I spent fair small amount of time done that.

But this time I also need to create gear style objects around a circle, I am wondering, is it possible that I just done it by ‘revolve way’ once instead of the '1000 times rotate copy’s ?

Hi @Zoli , Sorry I don’t understand what do you mean? I wish to use someting like revole, but seems revolve only creates things like bottle shell style, correct me if I wrong
