Having Problem with Ribs

[bellx1]

I'm trying to make a Rib in a U shaped part but Solidworks keeping telling me it wont intersect the part but the arrow is pointed in the right direction. I've attached a picture of what I'm trying to do. Any tips are greatly welcome.

Your sketch needs to be attached to the part. I would suggest sketching a line at the finish height, create the rib, then cut away the excess. However, I'm not an expert on creating ribs so someone may have a better way.

In the sketch, just add a horizontal line from the top end of each straight to intersect with the inside face of the U shape.
