hello!

I build a model with some pictures I took and it creates a big box around it. I use the "set reconstruction region" to select the part of the model I want but I see no "delete outside" option.

is there a way? thx!

  Hi!

  You need to use the Filtering Tool in Reconstruction.

  Otherwise, Search and/or FAQ are your friends!  ;-)

  I realized I was too late!  :D

  Anyway, thanks for elaborating.

  By "clipping box" you mean the reconstruction region, right?

  No the clipping box.

  It's an hidden option: click on the little Arrow poiting to the bottom at the very top of RC -> "more commands" :)

  Ok, firstly thank you very much for pointing the menu out - I need to rummage around in that a bit.

  I don't think there is anything secret in there though. The clipping box is also available via the Scene ribbon (I remember now). Clipping is a display thing only, that means the rest of the geometry is still there. Not sure how it works with export though - did you try if it only exports the content of the clipping box?

  Ah, ok. That works as well with the reconstruction region. I think the clipping box is just a pimped up reconstruction region, which would explain why it also works. Can you confirm that it is gone in the exported file as well though?
