Construct plane tangent to x2 cylinders


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Does anybody know a way to construct a plane that is tangent to x2 cylinders, like in the photo?

Photo is close but no cigar, the plane is not touching the cylinders when zoomed in! 
 

Feel like it should be simple, maybe it’s me? 
 

Thanks in advanced

Create end pnts on both Cylinders. create 2 vertical perpetual plane s by selecting cyl 1 end pnts and top plane and then cyl 2 end pnts and top plane. Now create a int line on both cyl surfaces. Do end pnts on most robust cyl line and mid pnt on other. Make 3 pnt plane.
