Struggling to model this shape with fillet tool

Can anyone help with how to create this shape?

Mine looks like this when trying to use a fillet:

I’m not sure how to make it match the reference image:

Maybe try and model the lid/bottom separate from the body. That is how they tend to build that style of case.

Here’s a way to do it. First do a 2-direction chamfer. I used a 1:3 ratio in my example. Then do a Fillet (Auto) to create the sloping curve. I just started using the latest app version 5.44 and I’m struggling at the moment.

All good suggestions there.

Here’s another way. I drew a sketch of the profile and swept it around the centre area (taking a guess at the corner dimensions). Then extruded out the centre and Unioned everything

The lack of equidistance arc function,There are too many models that can’t be completed. To be honest, this is a basic function, and the following pictures can’t be processed to complete equidistant radians. It is desirable to improve the surface modeling function.



I ended up going with the method @Stephen shared. Thanks for all of the replies and help!
