Hey,
I have been using blender for a couple of days now. I’m following a fire hydrant tutorial from blender cookie and I got stuck in one part.
Here is a link to the picture
I want to project this circle on the rounded mesh but it does not work.
I have checked “Project individual elements on the surface of other objects” as you can see and holding Ctrl and moving the circle as said in the tutorial. But nothing happens. Maybe I am missing something.
Thank you for any help.
Either enable the magnet icon (to the left of face snapping selection) and then press G to snap
or without the magnet icon enabled, as you have, press G then while holding the Ctrl key down press the LMB to activate the snapping.
When I activate the magnet icon. Snapping starts to work. And it snaps. But it does not wrap the circle around the cylinder. It just snaps with single vertex. Am I doing something wrong or it is a glitch in the system?
Result should look like this. This image is taken from one of the blender cookie tutorials.
Hopefully this will help.
[edit: turn on snapping and make sure the snapping element is to faces]
try using shrink wrap modifier option. this will help you a lot.

I would like to thank everybody who answered my post.
I did not manage to make it work as it suppose to. (with snapping)
But thanks to video from Ramaswamy, I learned a workaround for this. From now on, I can use shrinkwrap modifier for this purpose.
