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.

Polygon - Project a curve ?
Is there a way I can project(etch) the edges of the rectangle onto the cube so all the vertices line up? Then I could just delete the resultant face from the cube and have a hallway leading into a room? Maybe booleans is my only option?

your second option with polys is you have to model it till it fits and then merge verts or sth like that.

1. Append to rectangle polygon ( fill in the door )
2. Copy/paste that face
3. Extrude that face into a rectangle.
3. Boolean the hole into the face of the cube(room)
* vertices will line up
* no booleans were done against complex geometry
