You may need to add some guide curves, or split the lower circle and match verticies

Hello @scott_lipsham

As @john_mcclary said, splitting the lower profile will do the trick. 

This feature has six points.




Using the split command in the sketch toolbar, I split the second profile to match the same number of points as the first profile. Below is a top view of both sketches visible in the graphics area.

Here is the end result. Hope this helps!
