So I added a "Reduce map bounds" button to map eraser that crops to the minimal box containing the sphere -- it does not do any erasing, just copies the map making it smaller in size.

<div class=""><p class="">Hi all</p>
<ul class="">
<li class="">I know that when performing volume zone, we can set minimal
Boundaries true, so we get a smaller map compared to the
original. <br class="">
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="">
<li class="">Volume eraser gives zeroes, but as far as I understand, the
size of the map is kept. <br class="">
</li>
</ul><p class="">My maps are huge and my laptop is as it is. I am wondering if
there is any option of, instead of getting zeroes when erasing,
getting rid of this values and get a new, and smaller map, to work
with lighter maps. I use the volume zone, and reduce boundaries,
but sometimes is more convenient the erase tool...<br class="">
</p><p class="">Regards and thanks!<br class="">
