Here's an example:
gr = Plot3D[Sin[x] Cos[y], {x,0,2 Pi}, {y,0, 2 Pi}, PlotRange->{-.5,.5}];
ClipFill sets how the clipped region is displayed. None makes the clipped
region empty.
Show[gr, ClipFill->None];
The region surrounding the clip is not clipped "cleanly" because Plot3D
creates a SurfaceGraphics object where points are locked onto a grid. If
you convert to Graphics3D, then surfaces are clipped exactly where they
meet the PlotRange boundary.
Show[Graphics3D[gr]];
