We study certain generalized covering polytopes
that we call ``clopped cubes''. These polytopes
generalize the clipped cubes which Coppersmith and Lee
used to study the nondyadic indivisibility polytopes.
Our main results are (i) a totally dual integral
inequality description of the clopped cubes, and (ii) an
efficient separation procedure.
