  1. Click Suppress Holes .

  2. In the Suppress Hole dialog box, select Automatic from the Creation Method list.

  3. Click Select Body and select the sheet body in which you want to suppress holes from the graphics window.Note: You can suppress holes either before or after you create a mesh on a sheet body.
