After I thought about what you suggested I realized I misunderstood what you
meant.
I assumed you meant to replace the bounded_by with a clipped_by.  Of course
that removes the entire object.
I didn't try using a clipped_by (as opposed to a difference) on the HF.  (I
feel pretty stupid right now....)
However recreating the object via primitives didn't take that long.  Don't
know if it would be better memory/speedwise
to use the primtives or the HF but at this point it works so I'll probably
leave it alone.

Thank you for your suggestions.
