    Close the sketch on Plane 2 horizontally at the bottom, forget about wall thickness for now, extrude the single resulting sketch surface, then use the sketch on the Top plane zu cut it to shape or rather just remove the corner, add the fillet to the cutout, then use the shell tool to hollow everything out.

    what kind of object do you want to obtain? Those two sketches are not enough

    i want to make a enter key cap. so de top sketch needs to match the bottom sketch outlines. I hope i can make myself clear.

    If I well understood you can try this:

    1. create top sketch (like the one you've drawn but just the external profile)
    2. create a front sketch (like the one you drawn but just the external profile using the vertex of the top sketch to define the width)
    3. Extrude the first sketch up to the upper vertex of the second sketch
    4. Extrude the second sketch in 2 directions up to the external vertex of the first sketch
    5. Intersect with boolean feature the 2 bodies
    6. make a shell selecting the bottom face
