We can use voids to carve off material from a solid and join a solid with another to create the infill of a fillet. A sweep will permit creating something based on its section profile. There are numerous ways you can get where you want to go. Very subtle detail or free form things can be quite challenging.
An image of something you are trying to make would help get a sense of what you need to do.
A recent tweet mentioned a way that we can use Dynamo with Revit to do this, might be worth having a look.
As a matter of some background. Yes this aspect of modeling in Revit isn't as easy as it is in Inventor or AutoCAD. It would be very nice. In the overall context of a building we don't often need to do it. It's also partly because often these fillets are tiny in comparison to the overal project that Revit is being used to document. More macro than micro. Making Revit families for objects that are inside a building like furniture and plumbing fixtures certainly challenges that presumption. Roughly the logic is those items are not quite as important (read: we are not responsible for their fabrication and design, we are buying them from a catalog) as the other aspects of the building model.

Hey Steve - I'm glad you mentioned not just using a Void. For a lot of furniture I do, I find adding an arc-based sweep with an extrusion infill to be much easy.
BTW - do you have a recommend on a Dynamo tutorial?
There are videos at the DynamoBIM.org site, check them out. Also look for AU (Autodesk University) sessions on Dynamo in their course summary. Marcello Sgambelluri has a blog called Simply Complex that he is merging Revit and Dynamo info on.

OMG! Why does everything needs to be so time consuming in Revit?
in AUTOCAD: you type in FILLETEDGE and type the radius> select all edges> enter =>>> And there u go your object is fillet
in Rhino: you go into the camera view and select the mode fillet all edges> type radius> enter=>>> ALL objects are fillet
This operation is crucial to apply if you want to obtain a realistic rendering. Why does Revit give the user so much headache in opening the family, creating reference lines, reference planes, drawing the curve, creating the void, cut the object and repeat the same process for every single edge??

Thanks for the tip but please enlighten me: why does Revit do that? For a simple operation - achievable in other software of the same profile with a single command line- you need to install, learn how to use and buy a whole add-in?
Often with a lot of things "Revity", if there's a why to get there (even a hard way) there's no development focus toward them. Revit simply lacks a ton of standard modeling tools, especially in the Family Editor. But from some of the clues we've seen in Dynamo, this may be changing soon (or not).

There are different tools for different jobs. Tools for planning a city are different than tools for designing a building in the city, which in turn, are different than tools for creating a piece of a moulding in the building.
Indeed - after years of trying to offer Revit specific components, I've found that most users are dividing the process using different applications (as they should) to their best advantage. Revit into Max or Lumion with the furniture, growies et al being added there.
