Proper sequence to design model

[rac8006]

Attached is a part that I was creating for my son.  I'm looking for information for the proper way to design this part.

I started with the bottom circle. extruded the circle.  Then tried to build the next circle and rectangle as one unit

extrude to the height of the rectangle.  But when I tried  extrude the circle the rest of the way.  I could not get the

extrude to grab just the circle.  I ended up doing the circle then joining the rectangle.  I kept working my way to the top.

Then did the cutouts.  The design 3D printed OK.  It might have been easier to create the different layers separate and then stack them on top of each other.  With my method I had a lot of sketches.  They seemed to interfere at times.

Any user knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

I would have sketched this half profile and Revolve 360 degrees, then added the blocks and cuts to it.

This end of your timeline would not be there if you had used Revolve.  Can keep the model fillets and chamfers, but who knows what's right or wrong.

Might help....

Hi @rac8006 ,

Thanks for your Post.

If you asking proper sequence of Design for attached Model then this model you can complete by using only

1. Sketch-Extrude-Chamfer  :- which makes you time line easy to understand for new guy's, editing this design also  easy but too large time line as mentioned by @davebYYPCU 

2. Sketch-Extrude-Revolve-Chamfer :-  Time line is short and using revolve you can complete multiple feature in one command but editing model is hard for new guy's (This model is simple, it’s don't impact much but I am talking about If you have big design)

Thanks and Regards,

Examine the two attached files.

I appreciate the responses.  These are a much simpler way to achieve the results I wanted.  My 77 year old brain would never have thought of this method.

Thanks

As a new Fusion user I find reviewing the models that you create as answers to posts to be a great learning tool.  Thank you for the effort you put into making them - much appreciated.
