making a combined body actually solid

I combined to bodies to get to this point. I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the inner edge of the ring (red arrow) to make it all one solid body so that I can fillet the outer edge (purple arrow)

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

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

 

From the image it appears that you simply need to hide the sketch (turn off eyeball).

 

Also, the technique for creating the geometry can be significantly simplified.

There is a much better technique for creating the geometry. 

Check back in a few minutes.

Those faces are not coplanar.  If you zoom way in you can see that there is a very narrow face.

You can also tell this using Measure:

There are much easier ways to get that shape than what you have done.  What is your ultimate goal for this project?

Is that the only image of the ring that you have?

Did you look at the previously attached example Fusion files and understand the techniques used?

Have you gone through the Tutorials?

Hi! Based on the image, the part looks more like a slice of a hollowed donut. It should be fairly straight forward to create the profile and revolve it around an axis away from the profile.

Many thanks!
