And one of the commands that you can utilize for that is the REGION command. So, we got a whole new drawing for you here. You can download that from your Lynda.com Exercise Files, as usual, to follow along with the video. And what we're going to look at is converting a group of 2D objects into what they call a region. And then, a region can be utilized in a 3D environment to develop 3D solids that you might want to use in a 3D model. So, in this particular 2D drawing, you can see that we've got various objects.
