I am making a PLTW Train in Onshape and need help running it around the track. Here is a link. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c1426e6a74739e5b840fefd2/w/9a6a503e33f9812ef61f2123/e/1c575ea47a3320ad676b4b75

It also wont properly animate with this dimension.

Sorry for the late response. The project is probably solved or finished by now, but here is what I would do:
When I animate parts along a path, I usually try to constrain the part to a single surface with no breaks (An example is posted here). This makes it easier, but may not have the distance per revolution you are looking for.
