I'm creating a network of pipes attached with custom fittings at each intersection. Goal is to have a model of connected pipes and fittings mapped to a 3D sketch, so I can adjust the sketch lines and angles and the pipes and fittings will adjust accordingly.
For various reasons I'm starting with the fittings first (neither extruding pipes from the 3D line drawing nor creating stock pieces of pipe and editing them were working well). In the attached file, I got a basic connector working the way I want: it's 3D, and the angles of the pipe connectors adjust after editing the angle of the sketch ("Outer fitting"). Now I want to add a lip inside the fitting that stops the pipe from going in too deep. I tried sketching and extruding a second fitting ("Inner fitting") and joining the two bodies, but they still move independently. Also tried projecting the Inner sketch onto the Outer sketch so I could constrain the overlapping angles, but it seems Fusion only allows Driven dimensions between projected lines which can't be constrained to match other dimensions. What I haven't tried is sketching a more traditional 2D version of the connector that includes the lip and using Revolve, because I can't wrap my head around how to translate that process to an XYZ configuration.
Very new to Fusion so I'm sure there's plenty to say about my workflow and terminology, but given the short-term goal of creating a lip inside the adjustable fitting, 1) is there an easier way to go about it, or 2) am I generally on the right track, just doing something wrong?
Edit: removed file to reduce confusion, see below.
