The second one is to form it first and then add holes or features secondly. But the problem with that is you have to do those as machining operations and they're generally non-desirable. So let me show you a couple different options of how we can do that. So the first thing I want to do is choose this front face, start a sketch. I'm gonna go ahead and look at this normal and go ahead and look right here how we're gonna create this sketch and let's go ahead an just snap to the ends.
