Hello All,
I've created a design that appears to be manufacturable by the gerber outputs.
I am, however, noticing that some elements of my plated slots do not appear to be fully working from Fusion 360 Electronics' perspective.
I have two main issues:
1. The plated slots appear correctly in 2D Board view, but do not render at all in 3D Board view
a. They also appear correctly in exported gerbers
b. The outlines of the slots (as on the Milling layer) are visible in the 3D Board view
2. There is a concerning intrusion by a second power plane beneath one of the slots
Closeup of slot in 2D Board view. Appears correct, but an overlapping power plane on the bottom layer is "trimmed" differently than the power plane on the top layer and the main power plane on the bottom layer. Note the very thin "U" or horseshoe shape at the bottom of the slot profile. Any clues on why this plane is not trimmed properly?
Overview of the 2D Board view. Note the two slots just left of center, aligned vertically. Also note the roughly triangular power plane/polygon on the bottom layer, visible at bottom center.
Closeup of the Footprint for the offending component. Comprised of a large oblong pad with small center drill, and a ring of mutually connected vias. Milling layer outline crafted by lines and arcs.

A pair of screenshots showing the lack of rendered slot in the 3D Board view. The image on the left shows a selectable line corresponding to a line within the Milling shape from the footprint (the data is there, but the 3D View isn't acting on it?) The image on the right also shows the profile outline of the pad, which curiously has a circle in the center not corresponding to any visible feature in the footprint. This is reminiscent of an old hole I had in the center of the component pad that had the same diameter as the milled slot. That hole has long since been resized to that seen in the footprint. Is Fusion 360 Electronics blending old and new footprint data somehow?
A broad overview of the 3D Board
Any clues as to why the plated slots are not rendering in the 3D Board view, but appear to be correctly interpreted otherwise?
I should also note I've had "buggy" moments where newly created vias that were masked and connecting two planes/polygons would refused to render until I created a random via elsewhere on the board that was not connected to the polygons. I shrugged it off once I found the workaround, but perhaps it is related?
Thank you!
P.S.: Let me know how to appropriately share the design files if/when necessary.
