You can smoothly connect edges between themselves.

Space surrounded by the surface patch will deviate from the regular polygon, and appears to be broken and the center bend angle is large.

1- Choose curved surface patch which is annular, and is connected

2- Start the SurfaceInsertion plugin from modify plugin menu

EdgeRounder will apply roundness to your angles.

Below, the way that the plugin will round the edges of your shapes:

Six

Five

Three

Make sure that the connected sides are matching with each others

Take the curved surface patch around the target edge rounding the corner out of any model.

Create four target curved surfaces by copy & paste in the place.
