The "difference" operation "cuts out" one object from another, leaving a 
closed surface behind as though it were cutting a solid block of 
material (though the cut surface has the texture of the cutting object). 
The "clipped_by" feature is an object attribute that removes parts of 
the surface outside a clipping shape, leaving gaps in the surface.
