Regarding French's response in which he pointed out that the sketches do not actually intersect.

Can someone post how to fix this in MoI (rotating into place and scaling, or aligning, or whatever approach works best). I have not run into this issue as I use snaps both in Rhino and MoI. In the event that I have to use traditional CAD tools I constrain all my sketches. I know how to fix issues like this in other programs, but in Rhino & MoI I have not run into this as I use the snaps. Repairing the sketch issue would be a great thing to know (with an image or three to help my visual brain).

thanks to anyone who knocks it out.
