Hi everyone,
I’m new on this software and I’m trying to create or find a standard cogwheel/gear wheel to create an animation around it.
Can anyone tell me if the software contains such a tool and where it is located?
Thank you in advance.

Max has no cogwheel primative, you will have to model it, or find a model of one elsewhere. You could start it with a Star shape possibly.

If you search on ScriptSpot for “gears” I think you will find a script for making not just one gear but a linked “gear train”.
