Does solidThinking have a 'shrinkwrap' capability?

I see that it has something like it but one would seem to be limited to adhering or conforming to the shape of only one curve at a time. I'd like to conform to multiple curves at once.

This would be performed on a source mesh I brought into solidThinking.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

thx

    Maybe you refer to the Linear Stretch or to the Stretch tool that are deformation tools where you can follow the shape of a curve stating from a straight geometry (Linear Stretch) or from a curved geometry (Stretch).

    If I understood correctly, there is anothewr one named Surf Drape that lets you do the same by following the shape of a surface instead of using a curve and this should solve your problem.

    All of these and the other tools of solidThinking can be used together with the Combine tool that lets you apply the same tool to a selection of objects instead of being limited to one single.
