Freeform tools, push to mesh?

Hey, I saw my lecturer use a tool somewhere in one of the tabs in max 2012, in the ribbon. I believe it was in the Freeform options.

Basically he could push a lowpoly mesh to match the mesh of a highpoly mesh. Does anyone know where this is?

Not sure about freeform tools, but there is a push modifier that will "inflate" the model. Use a soft touch though.

Probably using the conform brush in the freeform section of the graphite modeling tools.

If I remember correctly you need to switch "draw on" from grid to surface then target the high poly for it to push and snap to the high poly.

it does distort your mesh in interesting ways, though
