  I have always thought about the difference as cutting parts out from the
main object.

: clipping     = cutting and hollowing

  Is clipping considered CSG? Note that the 'S' stands for 'solid' :)

  I think that it would also be useful if you explained the difference
between intersection and clipping and when it's better to use clipping
instead of intersection.
