Connecting different sketch planes to make a 3D frame with fillets?

Strebs

I have been trying to make a tubular steel chair. I have been attempting this by doing one plane and then doing another. However I'm not sure how to join the two sketches together so i can add a fillet to the corner. I am using the custom feature beams to make the tubes. Should a create the sections in different part studios and if so how? or am i missing the obvious here?

Hi @Strebs welcome to Onshape! I would not use the beams feature for this - a simple sweep of two circles would create the tube you need. The "path" the tube follows can be created in a number of ways - two sketches would do it (side profile, then the back piece running along the floor, then mirror).

@Strebs - something like this perhaps . . .
