Creating new model from clipped region

My workflow is this:

  1. Create reconstruction, and texture or colorize the model.
  2. in 3D view, select Scene-Clipping Box-Create Clipping Box from ribbon.
  3. Create a clipping box surrounding the model you want to ‘crop’. 
  4. select Reconstruction-Selection-Select All from ribbon.
  5. select Scene-Clipping Box-Clear Clipping Box from ribbon.
  6. select Reconstruction-Selection-Invert from ribbon.
  7. select Reconstruction-Tools-Filter Selection from ribbon.
  8. you now have created a new model containing only the contents of the clipping box from step 3.
