3d belt along a pulley

Hi
i want to create a belt with a T profile. This belt must turn along a cilinder(a pulley) . I've tried to create a sweep with a 3D profile, but i have a problems with 3D references (point,plan) near a pulley. How do i create a 3D point into intersection with a tangent plan at pulley and a line tangent too.

Thanks to all!

I would base both the Pully and the belt on Pitch diamaters. You could
then export the PD from one part to the other. Perhpas a simple
skeleton which contains the foundation for both pulleys and the belt.
This would be pretty easy to create and maintain. If you do a
Skeleton, I would recommend using the skeleton for the sizes but when
you import the sketch into each of the other parts, draw your geometry
by adding to the imported sketch creating it on the part origin then
setting = constriants to establish the size. This way, all the parts
can be constrained in the assembly using the part origin axis.

I agree. I used to do approximately the same thing in Autocad to construct
timing belt routes.
