Need help smoothing out intersecting shapes

[Fabian_Fischer1 (Fabian Fischer)]

Hello everybody,

Im fairly new to Rhino:

I am working on a joint that attaches to six pipes with varying diameter. The image shows my most successful attempt by piping along a curve. I am now struggling to smooth out the shape and removing crevices/dents from intersecting pipes. FilletSrf ends in a mess with my technique and I doubt its the smartest move, but I’m out of clues… I am aiming for a result along the lines of the reference picture. Maybe someone has an idea?

Thanks a lot

Fabian

I would rather use Revolve and only build the primary domain, Mirror, and then Trim and Mirror again. After that FilletSrf works well. All you would then need to do is to clean up the wonky spike points and the areas where four fillets meet with a four sided EdgeSrf and Match.
