Nut and bolt thread clearance

I am using fusion 360 to make nut and bolt. And I cannot put nut into bolt, I already print clearance test, my value is 0.15. I try to find option in fusion 360 to make clearance space wider but no sign of it.  Please suggest how to solve this problem, how to make clearance space wider. Thank you

0.15 is a very tight fit. If your clearance test was a simple spheroid (most common) it doesn't really represent the complex geometries & overhangs in a pair of helical threads. As for increasing the clearance in Fusion 360, that depends on how you created the threads. Here's a method from the Fusion Help site:

Whatever you find to do with your hands, do with all your might!
