How Do I Fix This Fillet?

I have this object, which isn't perfectly square. I want to round the edges, but no matter what I do the fillet gets all wonky.

Is there a way to achieve a perfectly rounded edge without the gap circled below?

Is something like the Attached what you are after?

Do you have a picture of something similar that already exists in the real world?

Thank you for this, it is a lot better an option that what I was seeing.

I've opened your project file and it look like you were doing the same thing I was doing, but your result is different.

Any idea why?

Do you have a picture of something similar to what you are attempting to model from the real world?

Unfortunately there is not, to my knowledge. But here is a mockup I made in Blender to illustrate what I'm after. Notice how the bevel is consistent around the corners, where Fusion wants to do more of a rolling effect.

BLENDER:

FUSION:

Is it possible to achieve the Blender look in Fusion?

Maybe this one?

Yeah, with a finish that should work!

Thank you, didn't even think to apply the fillet in stages. Makes perfect sense.

Cheers 😉

So I actually just encountered another snag and once again I'm stumped.

I don't actually want the diagonal edge along each side to be beveled (refer to my Blender reference above). But when I try and recreate what you've done it won't work unless I bevel that edge. I've tried to bevel that area in different sequences but I can't get it to work.
