Describe the feature you would like

Add an "invert" option to the clipping box tool that would keep the points outside of the box instead of inside the box.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We could also have the Clipping Box output a "remaining" point cloud just like the segment tool does.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I often need to remove some points inside a closed point cloud. For example, a box in the middle of a room

I can place the view inside the room and use the segment (scissors) tool, but it is a bit tedious and often remove too much of the geometry behind the object. Another option would be to play with the Z-near/Z-Far, but the shortcuts are not precise enough and modifying them using the menu is slow. Sometimes, I can also split the room into three point clouds : the floor, the ceiling and the rest, so I can use the orthographic view and the segment tool to remove the obstacles easily. But this is quite tedious.
