When properly placed over the sprockets and guiding wheels, the tread was 45 links long (the correct value) but there was a gap of maybe 1/2 link wide. I guess that in the real model, play at each link attachment allows to properly close the loop. What I want is to close the gap by making all the links a tad further apart.That should be possible by setting the skin tolerance to e.g. 5% and setting the 'grid stepping' (path page of the header dialog) to 0.
The grid stepping is the internal curve resolution, you will loose perfect link placement if it's different to the link length but that's what you want
