"Vertices" not connected when creating fillet

I just started learning how to use this software this weekend...
I am trying to create a fillet along this edge but when I do the "vertices" separate at the point where they are connected. Any idea why this is?

Thanks for your advice...

That helped alleviate the issue quite a bit, but there are still points that are disconnected.

To create this large body/piece I had used a "Loft", perhaps that somehow cause the points to not merge for some reason..?

Hey there,

Attached here is the exported file.


I attached two files:
-First is without the fillet, so you can see it before the fillet was used.
-Second is with the fillet.

One thought I had is that my object is very small...could that be causing the issue?
Also, as a side note...I might be approaching this form the wrong way, maybe there is an easier way to create that piece without using a "loft" on that top gentle arch.  Since I'm new to the tool, I a loft seemed like the best approach. 🙂
 
Thanks for taking a look.

I recommend that you start over and enable Capture Design History.

Plain and simple geometry.

Measure the angles at each pair of faces.

The same fillet size dictates that the tangent connections must separate.

 

Might help…
