One of the other gear programs has a zero spoke option, where they cut an empty space - just a hub and rim with teeth - to allow laminated gears with thinner spokes. This looks like a pretty useful option, assuming it wouldn't be too hard to add. The output manager might be a reasonabl
e place, since it wouldn't require extra gears in a project for the with and without versions.
It might be handier with tabs

Perhaps this should be a separate topic, but what does the gear point distribut
ion actually do. are the units in mm, the selected units, or something else? How does it affect stl files?
