Yes, i was able to download the chain asm but i couldn't get it to rotate fully and modify the dimensions of the path curve...so i wanted to model my own. Have you gotten this to work?
well, it ended up that there were so many segments in my chain that my computer was just running too slow. But anyway, i just set the segments to follow a datum curve around the sprocket, just like the one you can download on here. Each link is connected with a cylinder connection, and a motor was applied to the wheel that was attached to the gear. My model doesn't work exactly right because my gear and chain aren't calculated to exact dims.
