Clips a mesh based on local connectivity.
tubeclipper is for clipping a mesh while avoiding undesired cuts. Say we wanted to clip the dragon below, but only at its midsection -- clipping with a plane will cut through the head and other body sections. Instead, tubeclipper marks the mesh based on connectivity relative to the clipping point, as in the image below.

Recent (16 11 21) changes probably broke the ability to clip volumes (unstructured grids) because I join and clean the "non-jagged" mesh sections as polydata. Consider checking type in future if not working as expected.
