And that's gonna make it a lot easier for me to snap to the reference planes. And generally speaking we wanna always build our geometry relative to reference planes not other geometry. It just keeps the hierarchy very clear. Let's go back to create. Let's click the void forms drop down. And I'll choose void extrusion. Now if I wanna be…
