How to fill a void between bodies

Hello all- I am trying to fill the voids in this:

Voids.jpg

The rings are all combined to form a single body. I now need to fill the spaces between the rings.

So far my method is to sketch an outline of the shape I need to fill, extrude it to the material thickness of .125"

and then combine it with the existing body(rings). This works for the simple triangular voids, but it is slow and painful... BUT, some of the spaces are not simple planar shapes, they are irregular and the surface curves.

Any tips?

 

Thanks!

Since you did not share the model with the Forum users, it is difficult to try and show a solution to you.  Please share your model.   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.

Thank you John, here is the model- you can see a few places where I have already filled the voids.

I am afraid I do not have a solution for your model.  I can make fill bodies, for the missing area, but they are far too thick and at odd angles to the bodies of your model.  I hope someone else can take a look and give you a solution.
