Example, the following operations can be performed in one Operation Set to achieve a final phase solid for Pit1 Stage 2.
...
Building set of Operations
...
Add operation Clip Surface By Polygons (Exclude Outside).
In Surfaces dropdown import topo required from layers or files.
Draw one closed polygon and press play button to run results.
Add operation Create Solid Below All Surfaces.
Import surfaces “pit1_s1” and “Output From Operation #1”.
Add operation Create Solid Above All Surfaces.
Import surfaces “pit1_s2”.
Intersect the results of Steps 2 and 3 (#2, #3).
Reduce the Complexity for the result of step 4 (#4) as shown below.
...
Clipping a Surface
Reduce the size of a surface file. Load smaller files into memory excluding data not required.
Import surface file (can be imported from a file or from the Layers panel).
Drag & drop files from the Layers to the Operations panel, click on the icon and drag.
Using the polygon tool draw a polygon around the area required.
Run the operation by pressing the blue triangle sign.
Click on Result row to see the outcome in the viewport.
Click on the green arrow icon to save the result to the Layers panel.

Creating a Solid for a Pit Stage
...
upper surface topography,
design surface file for Pit1_Stage1,
design surface file for Pit1_Stage2.
...
Create a solid above the Pit1_Stage2 design.
Create a solid below the Pit1_Stage1 design and the natural surface file.
Intersect the 2 solids.

Cleaning Remnant Solids
To clean remnant solids use Reduce Complexity option from Add Operation dropdown. This operation allows small remnant solids to be removed from a larger solid layer.
Add operation Reduce Complexity and from Solid dropdown select required solid to import.
Specify the minimum volume accepted, triangulation error limit and pinch tolerance to remove smaller volume areas. All solids with a volume below this value will be removed.
