SketchUp push/pull patent expiring

Post by ElliotLee »

Hi there,

The patent on SketchUp's push/pull functionality (https://patents.google.com/patent/US6628279B1/en) expires tomorrow. I know it is possible to do the equivalent operations in FreeCAD already, but push/pull makes it so much easier. Would someone take it on themselves to implement this in FreeCAD?

Thanks,
Elliot
