TIP: To add this assembled component to the flightdeck it will be necessary to make a hole of the same shape and depth. To do this select the face of the flightdeck console. Select Workplane, New Sketch, OK. View onto Workplane and sketch the shape of the Display Unit. If 2 units are being fitted use Mirror and the appropriate axes. Select Extrude Profile and subtract the material to the required depth. It is possible to go deeper than required so as to give some room for adjustments and also to set instruments below the surface of the console.
