Connected lines not appearing as shapes in my F360 sketch

Hey there!

My lines on this sketch are connected, but they are not showing as an extrudable shape, and I don't know why. I placed it on the plane, and not a planar face, and I already extruded the "rookie card" seal, although I am not sure whether that makes a difference. I tried reading a few support articles but they did not help very much. Does anyone else know? Feel free to tell me your ideas!

Hide the canvass.

Edit your sketch, in the right hand side Sketch Pallet, 

Show Profile or similar - tick box is ticked.

 

Might help….

Unfortunately that box was already checked...

I'll send a screen recording so you and other people smarter than me can try to detect problems.

Are there any white dots in your sketch?

Are there any blue lines in your sketch?

Does click and drag reveal any missing connections?

Does divide and conquer technique reveal any gaps?

Which sketch are you referring too?

Sketch2?

or Sketch3?

Sketch3 is on the Back side of your solid body...

What happens if you turn the View Cube to the Back

or

do a longggg left click in the profile from the Front?

It was Sketch 3. I just couldn't see it because I put the sketch on the plane and not the planar face, therefore until I hid the rectangle it was unselectable. Thanks for your help!

It was still selectable.

Do a longggg left click in the profile.

It was selectable, just harder to do. Nice catch. By the way, thanks for making me work for this. If you hadn't made me figure it out, I probably would've done it again. But not this time. Appreciate your help.
