Error when applying fillet due to the sketch having segments

Hello,

I'm pretty new to Fusion, so please forgive my ignorance.

 

When creating my sketch, I did it in "segments" because it helped my brain work out the correct dimensions and measurements I needed.

But now, after extruding the sketch, I am getting an error when trying to round off the edges with fillets because of these segments. (error: The fillet/chamfer encountered a non-manifold edge or vertex.)

 

Is there a way to now merge these segments in the sketch into one contiguous shape?  (Kind of like merging/flattening layers in photoshop)

Or is there something else I can do to prevent the fillet error?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Normally, creating a sketch with multiple line segments will not cause a problem, if the lines are colinear.  They will be correctly merged into a single edge by the Extrude (I cannot tell if that happened here because the sketch is visible over top of the edges).  Your error message is quite specific:  It indicates the presence of non-manifold edges in the geometry being filleted.  The highlighted edge in this image is an example of an edge with more than two adjacent faces:

  I don't see any in your image, but they could be there.  As @TheCADWhisperer requested, share your model and we can likely easily find the problem.

Zoom wayyyy in here.

What do you observe?

Are all of your sketches fully defined? (No blue lines.)

Unconstrained geometry is always building a house of cards on a foundation of quicksand.

Fusion tells you when the geometry is under-constrained in your sketches - you have a lot of this.
