Using the planetary gear script and telling it to make 3 planet gears, but it doesn't.

It creates a single sun, ring, and planet gear with some sketch circles where the other gears should be but they don't actually generate. I want to make a carrier and I'd need all three to be there to reference. I don't see a way to just enable this and sure I could duplicate it in the assembly but I just feel like I'm missing something here. Thanks!

I haven't used the script, but there is a chance it is intentionally only creating one of each type of gear, this way you can replicate it within the assembly.

Yeah the features only creates 1 of the Planets, assuming you'll instance them at the assembly level (where you would want 3 copies of the original part instead of 1 copy of 3 identical parts. To have all 3 in the Part Studio, just make a Circular Part Pattern on that first planet (you can select the outside of the ring gear as your axis of symmetry or select a Mate Connector.
