Greetings

I have attached the model which forms exercise 2 of FreeCAD 0.18 Learn by Doing. <Tutorial 5.2>

The finished model is incorrect in that the centre hole is supposed to go "through all" which I have done.

My question relates to the refine setting to get rid of all the extra lines but I cannot find where the setting
is. Is it in the body or each pad?

I checked the wiki and help but did not find the solution which is probably obvious to the old hands.
