Help with modifying bevel edge

Hi everyone!  I am new to Fusion 360.  Hoping someone can share their expertise on the following:  I have imported an object into Fusion 360 from another program.  The object has a curved edge with a bevel (see attached image).  I need to modify the bevel to make the angle more gradual, as shown.  Any suggestions?   Appreciate any help.

Hi,

much easier:

Since it's a Msh body, it's easier to create a new sketch > extrude the profile > create "your smooth fillet".

Thanks, I will give it a try.  I may need to find a basic tutorial on creating a flat shape with bevel edge.  Not sure if a curved edge makes it more difficult or not.  Will try,

This model will probably take a little bit of tutorial study to get the information you need and it will not be in one tutorial.  I have created a Screencast showing you the process of modeling the part.  I had to guess at the dimensions as it is very hard to pull accurate dimensions from a STL file.  When you create your model, you can enter the dimensions you desire.  My model is attached.  It is important you use it as a learning tool and create your own and by all means, please go to the tutorials and use them to learn Fusion 360.

 

By the way, I created this model one way, there are other ways.  Choosing the one that suits your style and needs is always important.
