radii and draft - which order to reduce errors

I am trying to add draft to surfaces after modeling the part and am getting errors.  I also get errors sometimes when trying to add radii.

Is there a recommended order to apply radii and draft to a part to avoid conflicts when trying to regenerate the model?  Not sure what design practices I am not doing correctly.  I generally work from sketches and extrusion of surfaces, applying additional sketches as I modify faces of the part.  A beginner at Fusion 360 but a seasoned designer.  I know what I want the part to look like but not always sure I am getting there efficiently.  Any other training videos I should be viewing?

Hello,

What errors exactly are you getting?
It depends on what you're modeling.

PLease post a screenshot, screencast and/or share the design having the problem.

You can share the design by exporting it as a .f3d file and attachiung to your next post.

As a general rule of thumb always add fillets last when modeling a part. And definitely add draft before fillets when ever possible.
