SpaceClaim: Utilizing ‘Simplify’ to Locate and Eliminate Errors in CAD Model

      I imported an assembly into SpaceClaim (using a step file) to prepare it for analysis in Thermal Desktop. I am using functions in the 'Repair' tab to prepare the model for meshing and importing into Thermal Desktop. Under the 'adjust' tab, I am using the 'simplify' function to find issues in the model. A majority of my issues arose from screws and screw holes which I deleted altogether, and now I am stuck with deleting engraved letters. For some of them, I was able to use the 'Push' function to flush them with the exterior surface, but for others that same function is not working. Any tips would be appreciated.

      The method I use to delete engraved letters is to use the Select tool on the Design tab.  Simply drag a box over the set of letters, making sure to not select an entire face of the body, then with the mouse on the graphic window, simply hit the delete key on the keyboard.
