Cannot create sweep feature with guide curves
I am trying to make a pvc fitting. First I created the guide curves and then the sweep profile.I tried both the coincident and pierce constraints at the profile and guide curve intersection points but it gives error
" The intermediate profile#2 cannot be solved"
How do i resolve this problem? I've attached my part file and the 2D drawing of part that i'm trying to make

Good luck with this part. I made it with the hopes of using it in a class I am teaching, but it is not a good training model. It could be fixed by changing a few dimensions. Maybe someone else will give it a try and find a better way to make it?
I've attached some files. The SW model is made in SW2019 (you won't be able to open it). A step for everyone else. And a series of screenshots showing how I built the model. There are multiple ways to make this part though.
What's wrong with this part? The intersection of the main body and the 3rd in/outlet results in a vertex which the Shell command can't resolve. The Shell command can be avoided, but that leads to more problems when trying to remove the unwanted material blocking off the 3rd in/outlet.
Your uploaded model has a lot of weirdness in it. Extra sketches, splines, 3D sketches, undefined sketches... Gotta fix all that before a good model can be made.
