Generated strange worm gear when the height of the gear is greater than 450mm (425mm) #162

shot1 (Left: height=400mm Right: height=500mm)

After generating a worm gear I changed the height to 500mm and it generates a strange stuff.

shot2 (height=425mm) Things started to get weird when the height was about 425mm. But not so obvious.

shot3 (height=450mm) When the height was 450mm. I received an error.

The error was:

shot4 (height=455mm) If the height is greater than 450mm. I get the strange worm gear again.

Hmm, I think this is an issue with the geometry library (occt).
