manual fillet-style rounding: how to do corners?

Hello

I'm quite the fusion 360 (or CAD in general) newbie. I'd like to round the edges, but I could not get it to work with fillets, because I need a very large radius. If you see what I have now, it's probably obvious what my problem is: (how to I get the rounding in the corners?)

Any hints would be greatly appreciated - I've been trying for quite some time now (including googling, youtube, ...) with not result.

Best regards

Patrik

It would help to attach your model so the Forum users can show you possible solutions on it.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

A surfacing approach is probably needed here.  But, it is not clear what kind of result you want.  You have a sharp corner there.  What do you want the shape to look like in that corner?  Also, you may want to step back and start over on that part, and create the entire curved shape together, instead of leaving the corners for last.

Hello

I've attached the fusion file.

It should look like this: https://www.elektro-material.ch/de/shop/abdeckrahmen-ediziodue-1x1-weiss/p/va-327983?category=eldas-...

Once I've got this plate looking about right, I'll add more to the model to mount a philips hue switch on top of my physical switches...

Best regards

ps: maybe I used a wrong approach, but as I said, my 3d modelling experience is pretty limited. In the end, it's nothing more than a rather flat fillet (4mm of height over about 13 mm width).

Here is one interpretation.  Model attached.

Here is another method.  You can add a fillet around the top edge if you would like, max. 2 mm.  Model attached.
