One thing that I do want to talk about is editing these features once they exist in 3D, it can be kind of difficult. So, you can grab certain items and just drag them like you typically would. I could grab this corner and move it up and down. But you can see things, if I move them not quite the right way, can snap into all kinds of chaos so you really want to limit and constrain your geometry and 3D space as you go. You can see this first point was automatically constrained but you can do things like snap them along certain axes, so if you want this to stay along particular axis, you can snap it to it and this one, for example, it's along the x. Sometimes, it will give you when you select them, for example, if I delete this, it'll tell you with a little bit of a bold face here that this is the one you…
