Syntax

[SGB,CPLi,CPLo]=SGgearboxhousing(SG,[w,"convex","flooradd","floorsub"])

Input Parameter

SG: Cell array of gears created by SGgearchainwindup etc.
w: [wall floor cover lid] thickness; default is [1.2 1.2 1.2 0.8]
"convex": if used the shape is a convex hull
"flooradd": this contours are added to the floor in addition (freewheel)
"floorsub": this contours are subtracted from the floor in addition (freewheel)

Output Parameter

SGB: {Wall, Floor, Lid}
CPLi: Inner axes contour used for the housing
CPLo: Outer box contour used for the housing
