Can't Sketch On A Face

I'm trying to take a square notch out of a rectangle wall but I can't seem to get the right plane after selecting the face. You can see from this screen grab, I did one notch OK but trying to do another one kitty corner is not working. I highlight a face, right click , select Create sketch and then my rectangle tool. The rectangle tool proceeds to draw the rectangle 90 out on a different plane than the part I first selected.

You don't necessarily need to sketch on a face of the Solid body. Can you share your Fusion 360 file?

Sorry it's been awhile and I've never been able to function well with Fusion's method of storing files and directory functions. I don't see a logical, intuitive Tree like in Windows Explorer. I finally discovered that the only way to bounce a file out of the Fusion environment is through Export. The file is attached, thanks.

Hi,

1. The plane of sketch 4 is on the X/Y plane.
2. Since the sketch has no content yet, you can redefine its plane.
