Smooth connection between two bodies

Hi, 

I am trying to create a smooth transition between two bodies. I tried loft, but it only creates straight connection, not a curved one. 

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi,

Please share the file.

1. To recognize the positions of the bodies
2. Must the bodies remain separated or can they be united?

you will likely have to create curves, and use them as rails in the loft.

It seems like the easiest was to draw 3-point arc between edges on one side and then extrude it. Alternatively (and more precisely), one can draw two lines at edges coming from the corner and then use Sketch-Fillet to create a fillet between them with known radius. This way all properties are exactly same across multiple joints. 

Thanks again for pointing me the right direction!
