I'll select the object and choose Polygon sub-object mode and click in the center, and that is the inset polygon. I want to push that back, extrude it backward.

And since I know I'm going to do that, I'm going to make a copy of this polygon to a different object before I perform the extrusion. And that way, that copy of the polygon will be ready to be converted into a 3D object on its own. And that will be the sheet of glass that is perfectly flush with the frame of the monitor. With…
