Cut tool -- other options?
Think booleans only without using the whole object -- just a couple of faces... and instead of merging the object -- just make a cut outline on one of them.

With nurbs u could've duplicated a curve from one object and projected it onto another.
U'd think Maya would have a function that cuts at the intersection of 2 polygon-objects without losing parts like in boolean. I came across this myself a couple of times. I think 3DS Max has this and so Discreet will surely implement this eventually in Maya too.

Which is odd because most business ventures involve the employees going to work finding out their office's locks are changed and someone's drinking from their coffee mug o.o
