Number of Dogs: Enters the number of dogs. The maximum number of dogs is 10

Square/Cylinder: Select the geometry type of dogs. Square type uses Inner Edge Radius and Outer Edge Radius to determine the edge shape. Cylinder type uses Pitch Circle Diameter, Front Radius and Rear Radius to determine the edge shape.
