bending objects

HI again
I played around with Rhino and as far I understand, the size of the aligned object terminated from the relation of the size from base- and target surface.

I also found out that I can move the base surface to change the position of the aligned object and change the vu direction to change the rotation. But if the target surface is a complex object it seams not possible to find the same size for the base surface. So I have no clue how I have to keep the size from the base object.

Also finding the exact position. The position should be the same as the base object, except that it should be aligned to the target shape. Do I miss something. What I would except is that I could set some sort of anchor points on the base object and the target surface witch would be on the same position and determinate the location. Hope that makes sense.

Has anyone an idea how to achive this?

Thanks for any help.
