Bevel top edge from an drill model
-
How i can bevel top edge for an drill like this http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c24cf584783ff76836f016fc66c4785.
I try'it roundCorners but leave a lot of empty surfaces. -
Well, sometimes good, old manual stitching of missing edges can do wonders. Unfortunately the plugin occasionally fails with some weird shapes.

For small details like that, scale the model up by a factor of 100 or 1000. This will help prevent the missing faces.
Another approach to putting the bevels on would be to draw a cone at the sharpening angle and intersect it with the drill.
For something like this model, I find it helpful to think in terms of how the bevel would be put on the real object. For a drill you would do that with a grinder and rotate the drill rod. The surface of the cone represents the contact line between the wheel and the drill.
