Inability to use Fill Cavity command

Inability to use Fill Cavity command

Inability to use Fill Cavity command

(OP)
I am currently working through ANSYS 5.4 Workbook Example 3 which is concerned with the import of solid models. An ANSYS supplied model is used. Part of the demonstration concerns the filling of cavities and the removing of bosses. Despite following the lesson to the letter I am repeatedly getting the following error message and am unable to remove any cavitites as instructed. The message is "Unable to eliminate the list of areas because of non-unique volume attached to the area. The command VCVFILL is ignored." Can anyone tell me what this means and how I can progress with the tutorial successfully?
