First open the 3D model in AC3D and look for the gear to animate. The two scissor elements need to be named as individual objects. Let's call them '''A''' and '''B''' as an example. It is not within the scope of this document to describe how to create or name objects in the 3D model. | First open the 3D model in AC3D and look for the gear to animate.

Measure the distance between the two vertices marking the two rotation axes of the two scissor elements. Check the image on the right, the two vertices are marked as green dots.
