Slice faces where they are intersected by a polygon

Hi!

 

I've just started to learn Maya and I think I did something wrong with this model:

The small cylinder is inside the biggest one.

I know how to remove the part of the small cylinder that it is inside the biggest one, but I don't know how to remove the parts of the faces that are hidden by the small cylinder.

 

I have tried to use the multi-cut tool to slice the faces but it seems that I don't know how to use it. And also, the edge loop tool with the same result.

 

How can I remove the parts of the faces that are hidden by the small cylinder?

 

By the way, I have attached the model's file if you want to check what I did.

 

Thanks!

VansFannel_0-1664888589480.pngThere's no need to slice any faces, in general is common to have some objects intersecting, but a better solution would have been just an extrusion on the same cylinder.Also the red marked loop is unnecessary.

Thanks, but I would like to know how to slice a face because I haven't been able to do it with the multi-cut or the edge loop tools.

Thanks.

The multicut cut tool won’t work on object inside another and you don’t need it in this case, just move the faces to the outside.

select the faces and use the move tool.
