(Note: Some of you might be wondering why we don't use a mirrored instance
at this stage. An instance is just the application displaying the same geometry
twice, which would work, but we need our model to be seamless down the
center. With a mirrored instance, there would be a noticeable seam as both
models would still be separate.)
Now we can start to i ll in the gap, and because we have enabled symmetry,
we only need to worry about one side.

As seen in Figure 5.77, look from underneath the model and select the
four edges on either side of the hole.
