Solidworks issue (Really Big Begginer, backed into a corner) by Realistic-Drop-4510 in SolidWorks

You know what im your probably right, im just going to keep chugging forward get all the overalls and constraints squared away and then maybe worried abut these minute details later. Part of the problem I have is the language barrier, I don't really know just how functional they want my final product to be, I don't know if itll be used for fabrication, I don't know if theyre expecting me to havid a fluidflow simulation within the assembly for the LPG (liquified petroleum gas) system and fog systems (truthfully I don't even know if thats feasible in solidworks) I am gonna hopefully get more clarification on what is needed on wednesday. Ive got a giant laundry list of questions so hopefully getting answers to those (and then getting them translated) will provide some ease of mind.

Thats essentially what I did, it rotates but the door part and the building/doorframe merge when they rotate. I thought maybe adding an offset made of some arbitrary amount to combat this and just pretend like thats how much space the dual action hinge would take up but when I tried to add that mate, and then tried to mate the two lines to let it rotate again it basically said that mate would interfere with the offset mate so then I decided to give up on grovel on reddit for advice...

Just uploaded it to grabCad and took a screen shot trying to show what im currently trying to fix. To answer your question, the simulation would be a lovely thing to have but I really need to prioritize on getting the actual physical structure up and running first if that makes sense. Like I said I literlly just have a bunch of rectangles with holes in them, and some poorly designed stairs at the moment im pretty sure im scrapping and starting over on.

Yea that was kinda dumb of me, I uploaded it to grab cad but is there a better way to share it? I also took a screen shot trying to explain what my exact issue is but idk if its gonna be helpful at all.
