In Revit there is no fillet tool for solids, like there is in other programs. One possible solution is this: use a void with filleted interior corners, to cut the solid cube in 3 different directions, one at a time.

Yes, it would be like two separate rectangles but they have to be part of the same sketch for the extrusion. The reason is that the the double lines create a sort of shell, with the interior part having no geometry and the offset of the rectangles give the void a "thickness" (anything that intersects this thickness will be subtracted from the box)

That's what I was thinking, but it seams I can't get to cut the box... I get this error message when I select two rectangles, and click voidAttached FilesLast edited by Munkholm; February 28, 2011, 09:51 AM. Reason: Changed IMG to attachment with thumbnail.

It can also be achieved with one chamfered extrusion and one "chamfer sweep" that cuts both top and bottom of the box.
This, and all previous suggestions, will only get you chamfered edges though... To also chamfer the corners (as the linked example in the OP), you´ll need to create the corners by 90 degree revolves... Like in these attachments :beer:
Edit: In the attached example, I made the corners in a different material to make them stand out - instead, use "Join Geometry" to make the box appear as one solidKlaus Munkholm
