You can use the *Extract Selection* filter. Before you create the filter, make sure you invert the selection so that you are removing the selected selected. To do that, once you've made your selection, go to *Edit | Find Data* and then check the *Invert Selection *check box. Now, from the dialog itself, you can click the *Extract Selection* button to create a new *Extract Selection* filter. The output of this filter is *Unstructured Grid * and STL only supports *Polydata, *hence apply the *Extract Surface* filter again and then you shall be able to save out the result as a new STL file.
Hope that helps. Utkarsh On Mon, Mar 20, 2017 at 5:18 PM, Samuel Key <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello All, > > I am working with a less than perfect STL surface.
