Making a chain drive for gears

“

- [Instructor] In this third and final gear demo we create a chain drive. We're going to solve this in a couple simple steps. First, we have a curve used for a path. Then we use some link parts, already made and array them along this curve. Let's review the scene here in perspective. We've got a couple existing gears we did previously. And I've added one extra. You might notice that curve path is a little bit deformed and bent. This happens a lot when you have complicated geometry or just a busy scene. When things are being drawn they sometimes snap to the wrong spot. But it's very easy to fix as long as it looks correct from one of the views. Here in the front, it looks perfectly fine. So we're going to use a command called project to the construction plane. And flatten that out so it's perfectly flat and aligned to the gears and the links. So it's under transform. We project to C plane, which is short for…
