    After you click it a side window will open where you can drop your image to upload and then select to attach to your question.

    Hi Farah bbiijeeyjeey ,

    If I understand it correctly, you have Filled your Faces incorrectly and now, if you Move your Isetted Circle down in Z, it 'hides' below another Face. It's a bit hard to explain, but maybe this picture helps:

    And there is a known limitation, with the Site, where you can't add an image in the first post in a thread, asked directly under a Lesson. If you answer yourself, you can add images, like Sascha pointed out.

    The problem is what I told you.

    You have overlapping Faces. It'll be best, if you Delete all the top Faces and Fill them again, this time paying more attention to what you are actually Filling. What you have Selected before pressing F, is really important!

    Re-watch that part of the video, so you get it right this time.

    I agree with Martin, a re-watch is a good idea, even more so it's to start from scratch. When things start feeling too complex, it's always best to take a step back. When re-watching you'll get more speed and after making the mistakes, the solutions will appear much more obvious. Also remember Press Start is not so beginner friendly, there's always the Blender Basics for that:

    Also, I just noticed, your Circles and D-pad and Buttons are Added in Object Mode, they are separate Objects than the Console. This is never going to work. Delete them in Object Mode, Select the Console, switch to Edit Mode and then Add those Circles and other buttons again, so they are part of the same Object as the console. Follow the Tutorial.
