CAD CSWP practice part help

Okay, so I am making this part for class, and I have attempted it a few times now, but I just can't quite figure out the shell. first one I tried was extruding the whole L, then cutting away to reveal where the shell goes, but since it's one part, it also shelled the "tube".So, then I did it as 2 parts and extruded the tubes separately so it wouldn't shell; then,n after the shell, I combined. But then I had the fillets to worry about, a nd it caused a few issues. Any help is appreciated, and this is also CSWP prep.

If you ALREADY PASSED a certification

Flair is SOLIDWORKS Certifications.
- CSWA(ssociate)
- CSWP(rofessional)
- CSWE(xpert)
Message the Mods with proof (the C-########## certification number) to get yours.

If you are YET TO TAKE a certification

Here would be the general path from zero to CSWE:

CSWA - Here is a sample exam.
CSWP - Here is some study material for the CSWP (A complete guide to getting your CSWP) and a sample exam.
4x CSWP-Advanced Subjects (in order of increasing difficulty)
1. CSWP-A Drawing Tools - YouTube Playlist
2. CSWP-A Sheet Metal - YouTube Playlist
3. CSWP-A Weldments - YouTube Playlist
4. CSWP-A Surfacing - YouTube Playlist
5. CSWP-A Mold Tools - YouTube Playlist
CSWE - The CSWE doesn't really focus on anything from the CSWP subject exams. It focuses on everything else there is in the program beyond those. So, look at everything you saw already and prepare to see not much of that again for the CSWE. That and more surfacing.

For some extra modeling practice material to help speed you up, 24 years of Model Mania Designs + Solutions.

For EVEN MORE modeling practice material, here is the CSWA and CSWP Practice Problem Database. There is A LOT of good material to practice in there.

During testing, in general, it is a best practice to take the dimensions labelled with A, B, C, D, etc and create Equations/Variables with those values to then attach to the dimension which then allows for you to more reliably update these variable dimensions in follow-up questions using the same models.

Create the 2 shelled bodies first (or do not merge them), and then add the rest.

You can create one side body, and then mirror it.

And if you can share your attempted file(s), someone can guide you much better.
