Making of scouts excluding certain areas

Hi everyone,

I would like to make the following scout. Does anyone know a good way to do this?

・There is a scout containing 20 vertices that individually correspond to hand S1.
・For example, I would like to make a scout from the postcentral (S1 region) of Desilan-Killiany, excluding only the 20 vertices mentioned above.

The reason for wanting to make the above scout is to determine whether a particular activity occurs only in the S1 of a particular region.

To create a new scout, it is necessary to use the User scouts atlas, or to create a new atlas, as the reference atlases (e.g. Desikan-Killiani and others) cannot be modified.

If you want to have the postcentral Scouts from the Desikan-Killiani in your new atlas, select them, then Atlas > New atlas > Copy selected scouts

Then you can create your Scout in the resulting Atlas.
