Blocks are deleted.

The Paste Block is used for pasting a 3D area copied by the Copy Block.
When a Paste Block is placed the copied area is pasted relative to the
position of the first placed Copy Block when it was copied.

###### Delete Block

Delete Blocks are used to delete a 3D area. When two Delete Blocks are
placed they select an area between them as show in figure 1. When an area
is surrounded it is deleted and the two Delete Blocks are deleted as well.

#### Fill Block

Fill Blocks are used to fill a 3D area with a certain block. You can do so
by first selecting an area by surrounding it with two fill blocks. Fill
Blocks work differently when surrounding an area in that the area selected
includes the position of the Fill Blocks themselves as show in figure 2.

Once an area is surrounded a dialog pops up and shows you all the blocks
in your inventory. If you press one, the selected area will be filled with
the block pressed. If you press a blank slot the selected area will be
filled with air. To cancel, press the "X".
