      Hi I’m trying to make a cover on a 90 angle , but the 2 sides have different radius, how can i blend the 2 together , thinking of follow me some how
      Maybe do the longer radius around the 90 angle and then scale down?

        The longer side radius needs to be twice the size of the shorter one

                  Since you seem to be having problems adding an Image, is it this sort of thing you are after?

                    Yes but a radius in the corner where they meet, so it blends through
                    Thanks for your time

                      It can be done manually but it's much easier with Curviloft and Joint Push Pull.
                      One little note here, By using the center inference and magenta the small radius will be half the large one.

                          It's only genius if it is clear enough for you to follow, otherwise it is just speed modelling which isn't very helpful. 😉

                          There are various other ways to do something similar depending on the actual result you need. If needed you can still add an image as there may be a better option.

                                  For Curviloft to operate correctly, you need to select only the external contours, not the inner corner edges. Watch the short video by Box again.

                                      For a bit of clarity, in my gif you see me select all of it and show that it doesn't work as it highlights too many edges, then I hold down shift to deselect the corner faces. You could also activate the tool with nothing selected and just click on the edges you need.
