Bodies unable to combine

Hi all,

 

This is my first model in any CAD environment and attempting to learn through a baptism of fire.

I am attempting to combine all bodies together so I may use this piece in various other models. When using the combine tool I am faced with multiple errors as shown in the screencast.

 

I have looked for various solutions such as ensuring bodies are touching and aligned correctly but have exhausted my limited knowledge on this. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, also harsh criticism of my work is welcomed as it will only help in the long run!

You are sharing only the ability to view your model, please either allow download or use the following method to share it.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Hello Mr Hackney,

 

Thank you for letting me know! 

Hopefully the file is now useable for you.

Well, you are ignoring your timeline error warnings so they are compounding.  The first yellow error, I pointed out in my Screencast, caused the first red one and I stopped there.  To Combine bodies together, they MUST BE touching.  You can want to sketch a small supporting member to attach the one I pointed out so it joins the rest of the bodies.
