Change in the interface for creating a gear (Solidworks)

Hi all!

A few weeks ago I learned how to make gears (via the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xey6WL873-E). But a few days ago, the interface on the left allowing you to easily configure the part (module, thickness,...) changed (see screenshot attached).

I must have made a mistake, but I don't really see where. Could someone help me put back the old display that fit me very well? Thank you! :)

Hello

There, from what I see, you're trying to insert a piece into a room. So this is normal behavior . Exit this function and go to the 1st tab at the top left (room like Tetris) so you will have access to the creation tree. If I understood your concern correctly.

Hello

Haaaa, yes, indeed I was in the creation of a piece and not in an assembly. Now everything is fine:)

Thank you very much!
