Cropping 3D image

Hello all, I am wondering if there is a way to remove the background, or other pieces of the 3D model? I guess you could call it cropping. Basically I made a model of a house and I dont want to see anything that is around the house. This seems like it should be possible and I am just missing something.

That’s a great looking model!

If you download the lidar point cloud, you can edit it using CloudCompare. There’s a decent tutorial for the process here:

Wouldnt that just crop the point cloud though? My end goal would be to have the textured model cropped as well.
Side note: The clipping tool in WebODM seems to do the trick for the point cloud, but I cant figure out a way to apply the same clipping to the Textured Model

Ah, for clipping the mesh, I use either Meshlab.net for quick and easy stuff or blender.org for sophisticated editing.
