How do I turn a fillet into part?
I have two separate oddly shaped parts in an assembly. The intersection of the two independent parts needs to be filleted. Since you can't fillet in an assy I need to have that fillet as a piece of one of the parts or a completely separate part that I can import into one of the parts. I did a join just to create the fillet, but now I need to somehow dissolve the association of the fillet with one of the parts and still keep its shape so that it can be become a piece of part A without any reference to part B. How do I do this? I should mention it would take me many, many hours to the shape of this fillet with lofts.

Once you have the fillet surface you should be able to create a solid.

I did it pretty much the way CBL just suggested.
It was a neat little exercise that made me feel good about myself.

3 steps
1) make fillet
2) Delete surrounding surfaces
3) Thicken surface
And you do it all in a part.
