Now, obviously what we're going to do once we've done all of this is save the drawing as a different drawing. You do not want to use your current AutoCAD 2D drawing. You need to keep that because that's a separate AutoCAD 2D drawing. You need to save this as a different type of drawing.

We've got our boundary poly lines all in place, so we just go to the Layer Properties like so. Now, the benefit you have in this drawing is there aren't many layers. That's a good thing.
