So just click to make that active. I'm going to zoom in a little bit closer on our reference planes, and then we're going to start with a solid extrusion. Now all of these solid tools here have these little animated tool tips. So if you want to just wait for the animation to load and play, it gives you a little bit of an idea of how that tool will function. So with the extrusion, we just need to draw a sketch and then give it a thickness. And that's what we're going to do here. So we're going to go to extrusion, and all we really need to do is just create a nice, simple rectangle. So I'm going to change the shape here to rectangle, and then I'm going to snap to two opposite corners of the reference planes that we previously drew. You'll get these little padlock symbols that will appear on all four sides…
