How to clip the model rightly

Hi everyone!
I want clip a model by Paraview Tools, here is Paraview 5.13.2.
as shown in figure below, I want to keep the model outside the box rather than inside.


What do I need to do to achieve the desired effect?
My attempts are as follows:
choose one of this two items


set properties:

  1. using Box Slice Type
  2. setting the desired box’s size
  3. using the default options for the other parts
  4. chick Apply

Use the “Invert” properties that should be available in ParaView 5.13.2 in the Clip filter.

Thank you for your response.
I choose “Invert” item, the result likes this:

here is the setting of properties

if i choose “Exact” item, the result likes this:

In fact, I want to make the part of the model that is located in the box disappear, that is, the pink part. In the end, the green part will remain

I dont understand, is this working for you ?

Apologies for my lack of clarity.

It didn’t work for me.
actually, I want ro acquire the this resluts:

I have a square model with a green outline in the picture.
and I use one box to clip this model,
but in Paraview, I always acquire the square model with a purple outline, That is, Section inside “box for clipping”
I expect to acquire a model with a black outline, That is, the remaining seven-eighths. Saction outside “box for clipping”

Indeed, it looks like the inverted box clip is not working as it should, please open an issue:
