How can I model a box with ends of different dimensions?

So I want to make a box with a bottom 0.205 in. on a side, and a top 0.150 on a side, 1.7 in. tall in Fusion 360. I can then use that to cut another object.

 

With the box command I get a box 0.205 on each end with my desired height. This is essentially a tall thin pyramid with a lot of the point cut off. I cannot seem to move or scale the vertices on the smaller end, or at least I do not know what to do to change the size of it, all I seem to mamage to do is move the whole body.

 

I hope someone has a nifty tip that will get me going on this!

Thank you, Pavel. I made it work by following your example. I needed to select the "profile" of the sketch, not the points.

 

I am pleased to be able to get loft to work, as it appears to be a powerful tool I will need often!

 

Thanks again!
