Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

u can use the trim tool, use the boolean tool,
for nurbs, u can project a curve on surface and then trim it, or u can draw a curve on surface, then trim, or u can boolean 2 intersecting surface

Well, you could trim it out with the trim tool and a curve-on-surface designating the trim area, but in my opinion, polygons are much easier to work with.
