help with filling surface holes

[mikechvz]

i just uploaded a file onto the FTP site ion the X4 files folder title "mikes v block". There are 4 holes that i outlines in color #37 green i cant find a way to fill them in so i can create a surface operation on them while i finish out those 2 pockets. any and all help would be apprecaited as well as pointers as to how to fill those, thank you in advance

Looks like a flat boundry, one of 2 ways,

 

Create->Surface->Fill holes,

 

Or

 

Create-> Surface-> Flat boundry.

 

You may need to create curves for the second option.

[Teh Bear without Brains kinda idiot]

Or solid ->find feature->hole

Than suppress appropriate holes

Create/ surface/ remove boundary , works great for this

 

 

 

edit...Just saw Hardmills file so above isn't an option obviously

I tried to open your FTP file before commenting but it came up blank so I based my response on the previous post, re: flat boundary, fill holes

Here you go mike

Ditch the holes then extrude them after you create surfs.

I tried to suppress but got an error

 

Just merge my file with that one you got with toolpaths

You can actually ditch the holes as Hardmill Described, just take the side view and extrude thru the part, that way you can suppress/Un-suppress the feature and have a solid with both configurations, with and without holes. Check the attached file, look at the solids history and level 10 for the surfaces.
