Making non-watertight model

I am making a photogrammetry model for a living, and I noticed that RC automatically generates watertight model creating a big box along its bounding box. However, because models of interior spaces of a building such as rooms are hard to manipulate, I wonder how I can disable this watertight meshing function. When I applied smoothing to reconstructed model, the bounding mesh got distorted severely. 

Please refer to the image attached. In the first image, the actual part of the scanned room is in the box. In the second image, the bounding box was distorted after smoothing, and it totally messed up the model. I wonder how I can remove this bounding box.

Hi descomp,

this question has been answered many times…

You need to use the filter to get the worst of it, better yet use an external program.

Change the Scene Render Mode to Vertices so you can better see the part of the model you want to keep. Then adjust the reconstruction region and use the Filtering Tool.
