Erasing a offseted surface

Hello everyone, maybe you can help me with this problem that's making my day. I'm building a tricky glass wall with multiple curvatures, so in order to draw its structure I've offseted the surface in order to get pipes inmediately below the surface which is meant to be the glass itself; i've tried to create the breps on the surface and then move them below, but I get lost with vectors, it's a nightmare. The problem now it's that it seems that I can't get rid of the second surface, the one I used to create the pipes/breps. Someone knows a way to erase/hide it from baking?

I'm afraid that my explanation is kind of confusing, so here you have an image of it: I hope it makes it clearer.

Thank you in advance!

It's hard to know more without files attached, but I'd say that you need to do this:

Select these three components (hold the SHIFT button and left click on all three of them):

Then press the scroll button on your mouse, and click on this icon:

Hi Djordje,

I did what say in your post and nothing seemed to happen, but then I selected the following "explode" command and disabled its preview... and worked! Thank you!
