From FreeCAD Documentation
  1. Analyzing and repairing the mesh object, if needed, should be done before launching this command. Appropriate tools for this task are available in the Mesh Workbench.
  2. Select one or more mesh objects.
  3. Select the Part → Shape From Mesh option from the menu.
  4. The Shape From Mesh dialog opens.
  5. Optionally check the Sew Shape checkbox and specify a tolerance:
    • This option is usually not needed. It is meant for mesh objects that are not watertight and have small gaps between edges.
    • If the option is selected a compound of shells, instead of a compound of faces, is created.
    • The sewing operation may be computationally demanding.
  6. Press the OK button.
  7. For each selected mesh object a shape is created as a separate new object.
  8. Optionally use Part RefineShape on these objects.
  9. Optionally turn the final objects into solids with Part MakeSolid.
