Hi Bob, so to remove those holes the easiest method is the "untrim" process that Burr mentions above.

There are some examples here:

First select the inner "side wall" surface of a hole:



Delete that, there will now be open edges:



Select those edges:



Use Delete to remove the trimming boundaries that contains those edges:

Thank You, Michael...I should have remembered the process. It's been a while since I decided to get back into designing horseshoes.
I purchased an upgrade version of v4 in April. Is there any reason to do anything more to upgrade my version?
Thank You, Bob

Hi Bob, v4 is the current version so you're up to date right now.

Hello BurrMan, What do you mean?

Could u elaborate it more or send a photo?

I know u can have your sphere back like the way it was in the beginning if you have the hole where there is not latitudinal line! by just deleting the circle indicating the hole!

Hi Drill,
I meant what Michael shows here:

https://moi3d.com/forum/lmessages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=10365.8

""""""if you have the hole where there is not latitudinal line"""""

Surface edges don't stop you from being able to untrim the surface. That would be an indication you need to separate more, or just select more edges for the untrim to work (usually resulting in more "re-trimming to get back all the WANTED boundries)
