- [Narrator] We're staying in our 3Dplate.DWG file and as per the previous video, we've made sure that all of our objects are 2D objects and now 2D regions. So quick sanity check, is that circle a circle? No, it's a region. Is that polyline a polyline? No, it's a region. So just make sure that everything is a 2D region in your drawing before you commit to the next part of the exercise here, because what we're going to do in this video is make a complex region out of all these individual regions. So we're going to end up with one region, which will represent a plate with four holes in it, but with no thickness. It's very quick and easy actually and you're using the solid editing tools that we've used previously, the Boolean algebra functions. Now, what we need to do is we need to combine some regions first. So we're going to go up to the home tab on the ribbon, solid editing here. Remember we are in 3D modeling…
