The last 20-30 minutes of the video are the most relevant.
This really seems the easiest most effective most complete way to assemble in Autodesk Inventor, but, being significantly different from shafts to bores gears etc. type of assembling, the shapes being more specific, less general (being easier than assembling metal sheets, beams, and other similar actually more simple shaped parts, yet more pretentious assembling).

You have more automatically obtained constraints available when it comes to shafts bores gears etc., that's why first time I did a lot better at assembling, being more difficult and having to watch more videos about assembling to comprehend well enough the assembling options of this software.

It's so simple yet it was quite a long way to reach this minimum effective style of work, to minimise time wasting while assembling.

And now (again), explaining (which is also included in the video), but only the most important parts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have to work mostly with planes, but, you also need the surface to surface constraints (Mate) and the face to face parallel (Flush).

Actually, most of times, you have to use the Mate and Flush constraints first.

Then, you proceed with the mid planes, but each pair once (the (first) pair of mid planes to be formed, then the (mid)planes constraint, then, the next pair of mid planes with the other (mid)planes constraint).

This seems to be the really best most flawless way of working.

But the very first, make the XZ Horizontal ground Plane visible (and the YZ Vertical plane also, the other one you don't have to), to be sure the first piece (therefore the entire assembly) is alligned properly, to the... horizont.

Don't delete the apparently useless automatically appeared Symmetries, because the assembly won't remain packed together, locked.
