Creating Eccentric Reducers.. (Fillet Problem)

[cp3]

Im trying to create some eccentric reducers, and it was pretty simple, except that now I cant fillet the features to either fillet together, or merge. Any help?

Thanks..

You have attached the temporary file instead of attaching the actual file. Can you upload the actual file for someone to look at.

For eccentric pipe reducers I've used lofted extrudes.

Here's the actual file, sorry about that.

Would highly recommend a loft for this operation. Results will be cleaner and would allow you to do multiple configurations with different sizes easier than if you are trying to update multiple features with fillets. Plus it has the benefit of looking more authentic (in my experience) if done correctly.

You'll need to use a couple of Guide Curves to control the shape.
