Three Steps

  1. Make origin of Cylinder at it's bottom face.
  2. Place 3D Cursor on the top face of the Cube.

2 1/2 Steps

In Object Mode, With Pivot set to 'Active Element', Manipulate Center Points switched On, Snap Off, but set to 'Face' and 'Closest'..

  • Select Cylinder, then Cube, and S,ShiftZ,0
  • If the bottom of the cylinder isn't close to the top of the cube, GZ until it is.
  • CtrlGZ to snap the bottom of Cylinder to the top of Cube.
