case of "a fillet" is something that might be welcome in openscad. But that is not the point that Sanjeev is trying to make. There are manythings that are relatively easy to do in python-enhanced-openscad, that are hard to do in vanilla openscad. Not just fillets. His example might make sense to "Oh, but we want that to be possible in plain openscad". You can't keep saying that for everything that anybody can come up with.

he information which vertices are that intersection line. Maybe we can try some demo code separate from OpenSCAD to see if we can get your algorithm into Manifold based C++ code. ciao, Torsten.

s = 3; dist = 10; size = 10; fillet (radius= fillet_radius) { cube ([size*2+dist, size, size]); cube ([size, size, 2*size]); translate ([size+dist, 0,0]) cube ([size, size, 2*size]); } Easy. But what if dist is reduced to below 2*fillet_radius ? You can intersect the radii but then you'll get a sharp inside corner that the fillet is supposed to be preventing. And what if dist is reducted to below 1*fillet_radius ? Does the space between the objects fill completely with fillet? In the general case, this is quite hard.

ps://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/4702 Getting builds to enable this feature is going to be a challenge, as I mentioned before, but we'll have to see if we can get some help with that. ciao, Torsten.

pasting links w/o commentary: https://old.reddit.com/r/shapeoko/wiki/programming#wiki_python What would you like to do using what approach that OpenSCAD isn't working for? I suspect that there's a feature of the language you aren't using which will address it elegantly. William
