Hi,

I have a (simple) question, a want to drape a self made flat mesh (B)
over a cilinder (A), see my drawing. Is that possible, and how do I do it?

Thanx for your answer

1 -you could uv map the plane on the cylinder

2 - you could use the shrink wrap modifier to wrap it around the cylinder

see wiki page for more details

If you want to drape, why not use the Cloth Simulation - http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Cloth
