    Recently I was asked by a user how to make a solid (uniform = single material) model of a subregion of an anatomical model, e.g. the arm.

    Here is what I proposed, with a short animation to illustrate the workflow.

    1. boolean Intersect the skin with a box (first run Mesh Tools -> Mesh Doctor -> Make Manifold, to ensure the boolean intersect is robust)
    2. use the patch selection tool (Mesh Tools -> Select Patches) to select the outer surface of the skin
    3. extract the patch as a triangle mesh
    4. use the Mesh Doctor to close the top/bottom holes
    5. optionally optimize the closed triangle mesh using the Mesh Tools -> Remesh tool

    Click on the image below to view the gif animation:

        Hi @hyh , the forum does not allow me to embed the original high-res gif. So here is a dropbox link:
