    I was just going to delete them all out and put them back in. But I can not figure out a simple way to get the pattern to work. Can draw in 100+ points, but that's a lot of work.

    Adnan,

    I not experienced user in Import area, so I did simple test.

    • I opened STEP file in Notepad and looked for accuracy info ... 1.959893631850E-5
    • I created new part in Creo Parametric 2.0 M070 (in millimeters) and set minimum possible absolute accuracy 0.000073
    • I imported STEP into this part
    • result is the part containing geometry checks and a lot of inverted dimples ... see attached pictures

    I only have an older version of creo. If you have a version of Solidworks, use that to export a STEP file. Sometimes when I get vendor STEP files, I import it into Solidworks, and that usually automatically fixes it. If not, I use their version of IDD, fix as much as possible, then STEP out to Pro/E. That usually fixes most everything.

    If I understand your problem is replacing the damaged spheres.

    It´s not difficult. Inside IDD select a good quality complete sphere (with just two surfaces), the copy it and paste special.

    Now, the transform interface appears. Select "centered" and select one of the damaged surfaces and one of the copied ones.

    This process will make a copy of a sphere and center it with the center of a damaged one. Repeat the process through all the damaged ones.

    Now delete the damaged surfaces and merge the new surfaces with the base surfaces and solidify.

    Done.

    I can make a small tutorial if you want, but not in the following days.

    I have to do this in various steps.

    This first video shows how to copy the spheres and how to merge them with base surfaces.

    If you have to repeat a operation several times, use mapkeys to speed up the process like I do in the video.

    Let´s see if tomorrow I can do another one.
