I'd like to create a clean surface transition between a small and larger cylinder that are tangent to each other. The fillet options currently result in a choppy/pinched geometry that I do not know how to resolve. I'm assuming surfacing will need to be involved, though I'm not sure how to tackle it. Any takers?
Joe, give this a try and see if it resolves the issue. The curvature looks good on my end with the setting changed.
Your current setting under Profile is set to "Curvature Continuous"
With the setting for Profile changed to "Circular"
The same would apply to Fillet5 ...
"Curvature Continuous"
"Circular"
John,
Thanks so much for taking a look! It's definitely a good solution you've offered. In your experience, have you seen a cleaner way to resolve the surface transition between the tangent edges of the small cylinders to the base cylinder? Perhaps like the following image:

Joe, I messed around with this a little bit a couple of times. This last time instead of using a fillet I used a sketch and swept it around the base of the spout (that is what I call it) then did a cut. not sure if this would work. I didn't mess around with the back larger section, but you can get the idea from my model. Let me know if you think this will work and I can try it on the back as well. Tom
I would just build the surfaces in.
Joe,
Here's one way to get the tangencies you need.
