Reading your post again, if top is bottom. You must have picked the correct plane but extruded in the wrong direction. Or put the legs on it the wrong direction.

Extrudes and cuts can be created in either direction everytime (or even both directions).

In part mode, simply right click on feature in the left feature tree and pick to edit feature. You will will see an icon with an arrow up and one arrow down. Click that to flip direction of the extrusions. Get your legs on the correct side and direction, then "top" view should be good.
