Add Bevel Gear-Pair removes one(1) degrees-of-freedom.
When you do Add Gear-Pair, you add two gears that are in mesh, with intersecting, rotating-axes.
The motion of a Driven-Gear is found from the motion of the Driving-Gear, the number-of-teeth, and the mesh (internal or external).
Add Bevel Gear-Pair removes one degrees-of-freedom.

To prepare to Add Bevel Gear-Pair is more complex than Add Gear-Pair. But you use the same command.
Compare the model before we can do Add Gear-Pair and Add Bevel Gear-Pair.
The Mechanism-Planes of the two(2) Mechanism-Editors must intersect. They are frequently perpendicular to each other. For convenience, we name the two Mechanism-Editors for you as Mechanism-A and Mechanism-B.
Preparation A1: Mechanism A
