Step 3: Create a new rectangle (or other shape), on the plane, making sure to make one edge is colinear to the face created in

Step 4: Create a face using the sketch created in Step 3. Make sure you use the following settings:
a. The Face adds its thickness in such a way, it creates a step.
b. The Bend button is and the edge of the previous face is selected.

Hit Okay, and that will complete the joggle.
