      I assume you want to add a 'weld' fillet - otherwise you simply combine the geometry into one new group or component...
      To add a weld-fillet try Fredo's "Round-Corner" tool...

      Your model is also too small to take very small faces - so scale it up x10, fillet then scale down x1/10...

      Considering how small it will all be a simple triangular fillet made with FollowMe and a little vertex tweaking with Move and some Erase+Ctrl to re-smooth works for meCapture.PNG...

          You'll just have to wait for Thomthom to release Bezier Patch before you can achive this quickly. Otherwise it's the multitude of other ways to choose from for now.

          TIG EEby... Toolset can achive this
          Fredo's Curviloft also

          Or...

          Plain old 'Follow Me' tool!

          But TIG's suggestion is the quickest and pain-free ๐Ÿ˜‰

          Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp ๐Ÿ“–

            Thanks for the help guys, I ended up using Fredo's Curviloft and it came out pretty good for what I was needing.
