You mean you need to fillet all squared edges?

You don't need a plug in.  When sketching in the Family Editor, you can fillet corners.

In situations where you can't sketch, use Voids to cut the fillets.

Are you talking about the oven door? Can we try a box with rounded corners with a sweep going around it?

I apologize in advance for the length of the following video but I wanted to give you a few techniques because trying to fillet edges in Revit isn't very friendly.  But it can be done if you know a few workarounds and rules to follow.

Good Luck, you may need it!

Is there any reason you're using Revit over Inventor? Typically with Revit you model what is required, then use detail items to fill in the little details. It seems like you're trying to use Revit as a 3d modeling program rather than a BIM program.

@JJWGallagher I can see the rationale - Inventor geometry once brought into Revit is 'dumb' geometry, cannot be controlled by parameters and types.
