In my isosurface tutorial you can find out how to make an isosurface box
here: http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/simple.htm#box

and how to create the intersection of two isosurfaces here:
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/isotut/combine.htm#inters

But you want the difference, not the intersection, so you need to turn
the inner isosurface inside out:
