FreeCAD equivalent to "Pull" in Fusion360

Post by IgnisFlamme »

Is there an equivalent to the pull function in Fusion360?
Specifically, I'm looking for a function that does this https://youtu.be/XT0p7tVqUfA?t=98 in FreeCAD.

I have no idea what you are talking about, I can't be bothered to follow the link because you can't be bothered to follow the rules.

FreeCAD doesn't have such freeform modeling, you would have to model these surfaces manually using add-on workbenches like Curves and CurvedShapes or model this e.g. in Blender which is more suitable for stuff like that. Then you can import the mesh to FreeCAd if needed.

The aim of that pull-tool in F360 is to replace a existing mesh with a set of t-spline surfaces. The tool "shrinkwraps" the spline-surfaces as close as possible on the mesh surface regarding postion of vertices and the curvature of the triangulated mesh shape.
Afaik there isn't a tool like that available in freecad

cheers
