Making simple conecting rods in gmax is super easy ...
Example: a 3 wheeled Shunter ...1- make 3 sets of wheels and their conecting rods
2- name them all as WHEELS1/2/3/4 ... the rods being WHEELS4
3- "Link" WHEELS1/2/3 to MAIN and WHEELS4(The ROD) to one of the wheels
4- go into HIERARCHY panel in gmax and reverse the rod axys ... (afect pivot only)
5- export and voilá ... SérgioMP
