Duplicate the cutout shape and snap the top to the bottom of the circle. Super nudge it up once. Shift click select the cutout shapes and combine them. There are 29 teeth on this sprocket, 360 degrees divided by 29 teeth equals 12.414 degrees. Since this is an odd number move the top nodes of the bottom cutout shape outside the circle with the Node Edit Tool. |
