I need help with "Mastering Maya 3"

[luminis]

Well, I haven't seen that chapter (or the book for that matter), but I am almost sure that by 'cutting' they refer to 'detaching' the surfaces.

Right mouse click (and hold) on top of the nurbs surface and select 'Isoparms'. This will turn the surface to a light blue wireframe. These are Isoparms. Select (by clicking on it) the Isoparm (the line) where the surface has to be cut, this isoparm will turn yellow indicating it is selected. In the 'Modeling' menu set, go to 'Edit Nurbs/Detach Surface'. Now you will end up with two separate surfaces, cutted at the place where you did the isoparm selection. Delete the extra one, and you're done.

Hope that helps :)

i think you are looking for the "trim" tool..
(make a sphere, project the curves on it and then trim what you dont want)
