Adding clearance between bodies in a Combine (Boolean) cut as an option ?

Adding clearance between bodies in a Combine (Boolean) cut as an option ?

Hello,

Can we imagine the Combine tool doing some clearance automatically as an option ?

Say : quickly combine 2 bodies in one cut to resin print - for instance a small lock system as on pics below - but we do not find a tool to add some clearance between the 2 bodies to let the system works in real life.

Here is an example of what kind of simple plastic lock system it could allow easily :

For now this is only possible using offset in sketch before extruding or even push/pull after the solid creation, but this is time consuming when it could be easy to have some setting to do that, like "Combine Cut Clearance = 0,1mm" for instance...

Hoping this will take attention from some folks and Autodesk Fusion360 devs,
Cordially,
Guy

Alas trying to submit this suggestion/request on the new FeedBack Hub (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-feedback-hub/bd-p/6069) I get only this : 20200208 Capture.PNG

Yes, it would be nice. In addition, if we get an X and Y offset for unequal clearances, it would be more nice.
