Using EXTRUDE to convert the region to a 3D solid
- Once again, we're in our 3D plate dot DWG file. And that's per the last video. We made sure that we were in the southwest isometric view. As you can see it's there. And as you can see as well, we've got our region here. It's all one region. It's complex region showing the plate with the holes in it. Now, it's up to you if you want to change your visual style at this point, personally, I don't recommend it because then you can't see what's going on. 2D wireframe is a good option to be in right now, but let's just jump into something like Conceptual. And all of a sudden, you can see that we have a region there and it looks like a plate. It's got no thickness though. It's a 2D flat region at the moment, and you can see that by way of where we are in the southwest isometric view. It just looks flat. It has no thickness. It doesn't look real. Now I'm going to go back to my 2D wireframe at present. The reason being…
