I am trying to make a roller chain (used commonly in conveyors). I have the different components of the chain - roller link plate, pin, roller etc. Now I can pattern them to make a linear chain. But this chain is supposed to go around 2 sprockets/gears. So it should look like a closed loop. How do I do this?
