NAME
       imodextract - Extract objects from a model into a new model.

SYNOPSIS
       imodextract  [-g | -d] list_of_objects  input_model  output_model

DESCRIPTION
       Extracts a subset of the objects from an IMOD model and places them
       into a new model.  This can be much more convenient than making a copy
       of a model and deleting objects one by one inside 3dmod.  The list of
       object numbers, numbered from 1, can consist of comma-separated ranges
       of numbers, for example 1-3,6-9,13,15.  You can specify either objects
       to be retained or objects to be deleted when making the new model.

       If the -g option is given before the list, then the list is treated as
       specifying object groups, which can be created in the Model View Object
       List dialog.  This list of groups (numbered from 1) will be translated
       into a list of objects which will be extracted without reordering them.
       The groups need not be mutually exclusive; only one copy of an object
       is made.  The new model will have just the specified object groups, but
       appropriately modified with the new object numbers.

       If the -d option is entered, then the list specifies objects or object
       groups to be deleted, and all the rest of the objects will be
       extracted.

       Object groups will be replaced when just extracting by object group
       (without the -d option), but otherwise existing object groups will be
       maintained.  The new model will have the same number of object groups,
       with objects not extracted removed from the groups, and object numbers
       modified appropriately for the rest.
