This is pretty basic I imagine but just don’t know how!

I created a model of a pencil and now I want to have it conform to a circle…
travel along the circle path and bend accordingly - as if it were squeezing thru a tube

Thanks!

If it is available in your version of CINEMA you will want to use the spline wrap deformer.
This allows you to wrap a 3D object along a spline.

If a circle is all you need you could use a bend deformer too, just set the strength to 360.
