(OP)
I am want to apply a weld bead between a length of 1/2" pipe that comes up through a hole cut into a 1/4" Plate. The hole is 1/16" greater in size then the outside diameter of the 1/2" pipe and the pipe sits 3/16" down from the top of the plate. This should leave me with a 3/16" weld bead but I can't get it to fill the gap.
Any suggestions?

Is there any way to get around this?

Try using the full face groove weld feature for plugging slots and multi-face hole features. For round holes, you may have to split the face to get 2 faces to use the groove weld feature. It's hokey, but it works.
