You could add a Groove Weld to fill the gap.

Most welds will show the welding beads, depending on the options selected, such as grind flush, etc. If it is ground flush it will then appear as flat metal. It's not that difficult to learn, just takes patience to first figure out all the settings. You can at the same time create your welding symbol for display on the drawing.

A quick one to show appearance:

paul,

This is typically how I do HSS welds in Inventor.  As JD mentioned, a Groove weld works the best.

To accomplish this select the end face of the one HSS tube.  Then select the radius of the intersecting tube. Finally be sure to select Radial Fill. 

Hope this helps.
