I made a second copy of all the surfaces, put those on a new layer, named it prototype, and now in this video we focus on closing it up. Right down here, we go ahead and just, since that's already off, go ahead and collapse that down to keep it out of the way. Now all work on that layer group design is turned off and left alone for this demo. Let's maximize perspective view port by double clicking. And first I'm going to talk about the goals here.
