Failed boolean bodies with a phone case

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to make my very first object in Fusion 360 - a phone case.

After finally managing to get the shell correct Im having issues cutting out all the holes (for the camera, cable etc.)

I keep getting this error whenever I try to cut the smaller shaped bodies into the phone case using the combine tool. Could anybody help?

I also attached my f360 file here if anybody needs to inspect it to see the issue.

No surprise. Your timeline is already a mess without the error messages in the timeline.

All the move and scale operations are a total red flag.

You might want to fix that stuff first.

I understand you are new, and this is your first attempt at a project. We've all been there too. So no judgements, okay?

But that is one sloppy file! Errors. Warnings. Unconstrained sketches. Sketches in arbitrary positions. A lot of unnecessary Move and Capture Position events. Obviously stuff has been referenced and then deleted, which results in the "using cached geometry" warnings. Your methods don't jive with the logical parametric modeling techniques that result in good and efficient results.

If this were my model, honestly, I would start over from scratch after watching some of the beginner tutorials and asking questions on best practices here in the forum as you go.

But - just for entertainment - I tried to Combine/Cut each of the six top level bodies that would result in a hole, with the case Component, individually, and was successful with them all except for the "bottom hole" and the "plug hole."
