is there a way to do something similar to hull() from openscad?

Is there anything that works similar to the hull command in openscad?

Unfortunately not in full generality. OpenSCAD is mesh-based, so it can do things like convex hull and Minkowski sums that (as far as I am aware) nobody knows how to do with B-reps (Onshape's smooth solid representation). So this functionality is unlikely to come anytime soon.

@jeffrey_price
It is difficult to answer without any experience in openscad but according to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Transformations#hull I would say it's tangent constraint between line and circle in sketch.

Can you please open up what your are trying to do or post some pictures?
