Trouble trying to design tube chassis

[liljohntyler]

I’m trying to design my own version of a chassis and when I try to turn my initial sketch into a 3D chassis that’s where I’m running into my issues. The dimensions of my sketch are meant to be the inside edges of the tubing except for the bottom which the tubing would need to come inward toward the driver. The first picture is the one I’m basing mine on, the second is my sketch in fusion 360, and the last I drew on inventor before I got fusion 360.

These are 2 sperate files. the 3D sketch was the one I was having issues with and the second is the one where I went back and spaced everything out so the inside dimensions were what I need them to be.

I don't see the need to use a 3D sketch for the pipe design.
Is there still a problem?

I was just hoping using the pipe function would make it easier to dissect each piece and have all the dimensions I need when I go to build it

It looks like you have merged together bodies that should be separate.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

If you have access to Autodesk Inventor Professional - is there a logical reason you are not using Frame Generator for this design?
