Hi Thomas,
There is no plugin for FreeCAD.
The reason you can't have the tool normal to the surface is that your point cloud does not contain the ijk value for the point normal.
这一点Follow Project needs that info to orient the tool, otherwise, it will simply be along the Z+ axis.
You could potentially extract that info from FreeCAD, this is pretty much what we do for all of our other Plugins.
But what happens if you use the API projection tool with the point cloud you have?
Because now that the points are where they should be, the projection tool could potentially recalculate the normals.
