Quilts that won't solidify

Quilts that won't solidify

(OP)
Hello, again.

I have a question concerning quilts in Creo. I am assuming that if the quilt is "water tight" (no holes in the mesh), then theoretically, the Solidify button should not be grayed out and unavailable.

My questions are:
1. Is this necessarily true in all cases of a watertight mesh, regardless of its complexity?
2. Is there a quick way in Creo to highlight holes in a mesh?

I have a very complicated quilt that would not thicken, so I had to enable special handling so that I could fill in the holes later. To make a long story short, I needed to separate both sides of the quilt, repair them, then reconnect those sides via a thin string of boundary blends along the edge. I have what appears to be a quilt with no holes, but it is very possible the holes are very very tiny and hard to locate.

I attempted to do a GeomCheck, but it crashes Creo whenever I attempt to use it with this file.
