You can remove the central block because the mesh will only be generated in the volume between the
SPHERE and CUBE. Very often, when multiple blocks are displayed, it is difficult to select the icon representing the block(s). An alternative method is to select the block by selecting a pair of diagonally opposing
corners.
Blocking > Delete Block
The Select Blocking-block toolbar will appear.
