      Variation.....

      Select 'contours' >> 'COPY' >> 'Sanbox' from contours >> 'Edit' group >> 'Paste in Place' >> Select 'surface' between contours >> 'Cut' >> 'Undo' >> 'Undo' >> 'Undo' >> 'Paste in Place'.... Done

      use Undo to remove unwanted.

        +1 Using undo and paste in place is often the better solution !

          This was first made by Sandbox from Contours. If you just save the circle contours in the first place and paste into the skinned group, you have a defined outer ring face to select separately. So don't throw away the contours in the first place.

          Another way to work with the problem is to select the outer edges by drawing a rectangle around the whole thing so you can double click the outer face of that. Once you have the outer ring alone selected you can lift it up so that the center section can be isolated-- right/left click and delete.

            Why not just select the surface between contours, copy, close group and erase, paste in place? why the undo's? Just take what you wanted and throw the rest away.

              I like the undo 'cause this way I'm sure there's not unused components in the file...It's not a problem here as the created terrain is a group, but It's an habit I have.
