Click the "draw structure" button to launch the drawing utility.

Convert the Fischer projection into a representation that uses wedges and dashes for any chirality center(s).

**Diagram Explanation:**

- On the left, there is a Fischer projection of a molecular structure:
  - The vertical line in the center has three groups attached to it:
    - At the top, there is a hydrogen (H) atom.
    - In the middle, there is a carbon (C) atom connected to a methyl group (CH3) and an ethyl group (CH3CH2).
    - At the bottom, there is an amine group (NH2).

- An arrow points from the Fischer projection to the right, indicating the conversion of this structure.

- On the right, there is a 3D representation of the molecule, using wedges and dashes to depict the chirality:
  - A wedge-shaped line (solid triangle) represents a bond coming out of the plane towards the viewer.
  - A dashed line represents a bond going behind the plane away from the viewer.
  - The molecular structure shows the same groups as in the Fischer projection, but now in a 3D perspective to convey chirality:
    - The ethyl group (CH3CH2) and the amine group (NH2) are positioned with wedge and dashed lines.
    - The methyl group (CH3) and hydrogen (H) are placed in the plane of the page.
    
- Below the 3D representation, there is a button labeled "edit structure ...", suggesting an interactive element on the educational website, allowing users to edit the molecular structure.

The diagram effectively demonstrates how to convert a 2D Fischer projection into a 3D representation to understand the chirality centers in molecules better.
