| Attribute-ID | discretization_tooth_profile_contour |
| Numeric ID | 18414 |
| Value Type | PMString |
Controls the number of points in the tooth profile contour generated by the tools.
The number of points can also be set individually for the individual sections of the tooth contour. For this purpose, the following attributes can be set via scripting:
| Attribute | Default-Value |
| gear_geometry_number_of_knots_on_involute | 500 |
| gear_geometry_number_of_knots_on_tip_chamfer | 100 |
| gear_geometry_number_of_knots_on_root_curvature | 500 |
| gear_geometry_number_of_knots_on_protuberance | 400 |
The button "Discretisation of the tooth profile contour" scales the number of points specified in the above attributes. In the "Fine" setting, the points specified by attribute are not scaled.
Depending on the tooth form, specifying too few points can lead to errors in the geometry calculation.
