Possibly a noob 3d design question, idk. I have a cylindrical shape. I've cut it to size. How do I fill the face for outer bit without also filling the bit I want kept hollow?

Possibly a noob 3d design question, idk. I have a cylindrical shape. I've cut it to size. How do I fill the face for outer bit without also filling the bit I want kept hollow?

Does that make sense? Pic attached.

You can see what I want to do. I want the middle bit hollow, and the outer face bit filled.

I'm learning stuff as I go as I need, no "official" training or anything, so I don't necessarily know the correct terms or procedures to Google for.

Normally when filling a face here I'd select all, F, job done, but that fills all that face in.

If I just Ctrl +L around the edge and fill, that does the same.

Basically I'm messing around making warhammer 40k stuff for fun, picking things up as I go. Most stuff I need to do I've been able to figure out one way or another but this has stumped me.

Edit- that face was created by boolean difference against another shape. That should have created a filled bit as I want but didn't for some reason, idk.

Got this little dragon guy the other day. Only a 3 star, but could be my favourite picture. This is exactly how I feel getting out of bed on a morning.

11:30 technically is still morning, right?

Found a rare endangered species out in the wild today.

Complete with phone, doesn't smell of months-stale piss, and even has a dial tone. Emergency calls only though, apparently.

Got stuck for half a mile behind these little feathered you-know-what's. Then again on the way back. (Also mods, they're not ducks. Tf is that rule about?)
