Removing Holes from a block (#4827)

I have a simple rectangular block with many simple holes and counterbored holes in it. I'd like to remove some of them. I originally drew each hole with a center point. If I select the point at the center of a hole and hit the delete key, the program asks if I want to delete dependencies and continue, then just the point disappears. If I try to select the hole, I select the whole block? Not sure if I'm doing that wrong. And if I hit delete while the whole block is selected, obviously the whole block disappears. If I click the mouse "in the hole" (most are not thru holes) or on the side of the hole, I seem to see the hole characteristics in the inspector, but if I reduce all the diameters to 0, I get an error and the hole stays. Even if the hole characteristics are showing in the inspector, the whole block is selected and will disappear if I hit delete. Any ideas? Oh, this is all in Viacad 3D version 7.

Select the Deep Select tool. Box select all the faces you want to delete. Then hit the Delete key. Tim

Thanks Tim! Worked great. I was somewhat lucky that I could turn the block so there wasn't anything behind what I wanted to select. If there had been, what would I do then?
