  A straight edge can be rounded by using two boxes and a cylinder.
Likewise a curved edge can be rounded by using two cylinders and a
torus, using the same principle.

  (Of course if the curve is not close to circular, then it becomes
slightly more difficult. You would need an elliptical torus which is not
impossible, but laborious. Note that an unevenly scaled torus is not a
real elliptical torus, as the minor radius does not remain constant.)
