Bevel face width

Can the face width of a bevel (helical) gear be set?
There is a field for it, and it is displayed in the list of parameter
s when a gear is placed, but the actual gear doesn't change.
Picture attached in case my terminolo
gy is incorrect

Hi:
There is a specifica
tion, both in gleason and non-gleason bevels that the facewidth be less than or equal to 1/3rd of the cone distance.
This is why the facewidth setting stops working above a certain setting.
However, it seems it shoudl be more of a "caution" than a rule, so I have this morning relaxed it for the next version. You will now
be allowed to specify a facewidth to 90% of the cone distance. (Im not a huge beliver in ruls unless they impact usage and I dont
think in this case they do..
Thx for pointing this out, amazingly I had myself noticed this earlier this week.. so your letter reminded me to check into it..

Thanks.
My issue wasn't that I needed extra strength with a wider face, it is those little peaks, which don't 3D print well. I originall
y was going to edit the .stl files and try and stretch them, but it was easier just to slice at the round face. So I needed to add some width back.
