Fauze,

David Gobbi has just added a new class that will reduce the number of
steps in this operation:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Closed_Surface_Clipping

You would just need to make the outer cylinder (radius R2, length L,
CappedOn), and clip it
(using closed surface clipping) with a slightly longer inner cylinder
(R1, L+epsilon).

Thanks,

David
