Hello all I am trying to see how i can put a fillet between two intersecting cylinders, so that they look to be blended together. So it looks a bit like the the attached photo. Hope this makes sense. anyone able to help? thanks!! [Screen Shot 2020-05-25 at 4.48.11 pm]

I would use Curviloft Skin Contours of a quarter of the intersection in this fashion after I copy a ring on each cylinder to get an arc on each, extend an edge between the two cylinders and an arc parallel to the axes. [Screen Shot 2020-05-25 at 12.38.10 AM] There will be excess faces of the upri…

Another option is to use @Fredo6 ’s RoundCorner or FredoCorner plugins. They will give the effect of a more uniform fillet along the compound-curve intersection between the two cylinders. You would probably need to use the “Dave” method to avoid SketchUp’s issues with very small geometry: Put the …

Another approach is to model in SketchUp the method of fabricating it in the real world. So, if the work looks like that because you make the joint first with S4S stock, and then run a cove bit on a router over it, then model the shape and path of the router as a solid “cutter” object and use solid…
