[vtkusers] create stl file with labeled parts

[Ali Habib]

Dear David

I use vtkboxwidget for selection and the vtkClipPolyData to get
the selected points

I will save the whole surface but I want to distinguish the parts
using labels for further analysis in FE programs like ansys

is their a way to near that

Best regards
