How do I bend a body to conform to another curved body surface?

[mabacapa]

I have a curved body to which I'd like to attach a second body. The attached screen shot shows the Audi rings in blue and the curved body to which I'd like to attach it. Is it possible to do this in F360?Bend Blue to Attach to Gray

With imported .stl files (triangulated mesh files are not CAD geometry) that is unlikely to work at all.

If that can't be done in Autodesk Meshixer, Blender would  make short work of that.

Thanks for that knowledge.

I guess now I have to learn Blender enough to where I can post this question on their forum. 🙂

Can you share your model? (original .stl, perhaps packaged in a .zip file )

It would probably be easier to just model this from scratch in Fusion 360.

You're probably right.....my head hurts trying to maneuver around in Blender.  😑

It might be best to keep you head out of the blender...

Well, you're version/video turned out better than mine. When I REFOLDED, my rings deformed. (see pic).
