- [Instructor] Once again, we're staying in our MetalPlate.dwg file. And again, I've left it in the same state as it was at the end of the last video. We've converted everything to that single region with the four holes in it. And what we're going to do in this video is use a little bit of extrude and presspull to make it into an actual 3D solid. At the moment, the only way I can describe a region in this particular form is it's paper thin. So imagine you've sketched out your 3D object and it's literally got zero thickness so we need to give it a thickness. Now we're in the 3D modeling workspace. So over here on the home tab on the ribbon we've got the modeling panel, and I'm going to use extrude. I'm going to click on extrude and that will create a 3D solid from my region. So I click on the region like so to confirm that. And then I press enter to confirm the selection. And now as I move the mouse up and down, can you see…
