The request

“A Raspberry Pi GPIO18 3.3 V output driving LED1 through a 330 Ω series resistor to ground.”

Then tryChange the resistor to 220 Ω.Add a second LED branch.
What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use 330Ω series resistor for ~3mA LED current from 3.3V GPIO

02

Connect LED cathode to common ground (0V)

03

Model GPIO as a 3.3V DC supply with output net

Reuse for any single-LED status indicator on Raspberry Pi or similar 3.3V logic outputs where current must be limited to safe levels.
