Creating new model from clipped region

When I draw a clipping box or define a reconstruction area, how could I turn that into a new, separate model?

Thank you.

  You mean you have a model that you want to clip?

  Use the filter - it won't replace the old model but create a new one...

  Hi,

  I would like to point out that the filtering tool workflow (reconstruction region>box selection>invert>filter selection) seems not suitable in certain cases due to the fact that filtering is "deleting" faces and not trimming them at the border of the bounding box/selection box, if I am not mistaken. So a clipping box model export from a very big reconstruction model would be very handy. (Stitching is not really an option) Is there a different workflow that clips/trims the geometry that I am not aware of?

  If the above is not possible and you have to reprocess with several reconstruction regions is there an option that RC will use the existing depth maps so that you still have seamless borders/seems? And a more naive question: Even after simplification?
