And then we'll take it down to the x height and we'll set a little 10 unit overshoot. We'll copy this and paste it. And flip it, take it down to the baseline. And then nudge it down for a 10 unit overshoot at the bottom also. And the last thing we need to do is to add the vertical portions so, I'll use the primitive tool. And check to make sure that I'm at 95 units wide, copy that, paste it, take it over to the right. Oops, got to get that alignment perfect.
