Grab the ruler tool and drag it onto the work plane between the two profiles. Can select each, and then we'll click on the origin to toggle so that it's measuring to the nearest corner. Change those green dimensions, the offsets, to zero to bring the profile to that origin mark. On the other profile, do the same thing, toggle the corner and change the offset, perfect. Use a bounding box to select both objects and then choose group. All right…
