Need help to complete this part

I am trying to complete a part that I wish to 3D print.  It is an oddly shaped wedge part.  I created a 3D wireframe sketch of the part.  The .f3d file is attached.  What I need help with is how to create a solid from the wireframe sketch. I am not quite sure how to do it. The completed part is supposed to look something like this.

 

Thanks for any help.  Not even sure if I did the sketch correctly.  I had a lot of experience with AutoCAD when I was working since its creation in the early 80's, but never really did any 3D.  It is quite the learning experience!

Your model, as you have sketched it, is attached.  Your sketch is not fully constrained and will be difficult to do so.  If you need further explanation, other than the Timeline, let me know.

I use 3d sketches only if there is no other way.

I startet with two sketches.

If you want the wedge face to be planar rather than twisted - you will have to model something like the Attached.

That is what I was looking for!  Thanks to all for the solutions.  I will have to do some studying/practicing on my own.
