Are the legs the circles on the back side of the board? If so make them a carve region with a 0 height.

Is this what you are looking for?

1) click on circle(s) for the leg(s)
2) click on Carve Region
3) change depth from 0.250 to 0
If it was me and all I wanted was round legs, I wouldn't carve the bottom side (eliminate the 0.250 carve region so you have room for the legs) and instead have it drill a hole for the leg. Then use a dowel the size of the hole to make the leg.

You need to use the Merge function on the Carve Region.

In this example I set the carve region to a depth of .25", deleted your feet, and re-created a foot using a .5" circle carve region with a depth of "0". Then I mirrored it in all four directions. I also set the merge to normal for the large carve region

I use a depth of .001". Same result, except I don't get the software complaining about it.
