Copy Paste Portion of Grid

It would be helpful to have better copy paste tools in creative.

The Reasoning:

The ability to paste one grid onto another grid works well. But you can only copy entire grids. I have run into many situations where I wanted to make a ship longer by adding to the middle, or move the bridge or nacelles around. Currently you need to separate the ship into 2 grids by deleting blocks. Destructive editing like this makes 3D art more difficult.

Some potential improvements:

Add a tool to select a cuboid portion of a ship to cut or copy. Add the ability to split a grid along a plane. Add the ability to mirror your clipboard. Make pasting one grid onto another obey current block mirroring rules.

I ran into quite a lot of situations where a feature like this would have been an incredible time saver!
