working on the dead horse, the flogging of principle, see if the
attached code gives you this. (I, or someone else, can work out the
angled fillet.)  You can easily see a cross section by differencing
'cube(500)'  for each item.

If we create those text files, why not allow them to also be imported,
so Raymond can send me his settings, and I can try them?

In another thread (Re: Fillet) it became apparent that scripts that
successfully ran on one system, did not run properly on another. I
think it would be useful if the values entered in preferences, and
elsewhere, could be produced as a separate text file, so that when
these differences occur, comparisons between these settings could be
readily made. It appears that the version number is not enough (for
example cgal/manifold, can produce different results.)

It's not the best angle for seeing the details of the fillets, but this
looks pretty much the same.  From other angles the bottom-most one isn't
very bevel-y; can't see what yours looks like from those angles.

Windows 11, OpenSCAD 2024.12.16, preview (Manifold and CGAL look the same):

Here's a better angle to see the shape of the bevels:

You can't see the internal fillet in your view, but thanks for giving it
a test.

I think the fl value in the script was a 5, in the image I posted, it
could be a 3.

The flange (fl) value can give a straight bevel, if bevel = 0, but
values of fl that I've tried, with various bevels, does not particularly
represent the cast/wrought iron flanges on the pipework I'm familiar
with.  The fl value was only there to see if profiles (other than the
'slipping ladder' type) would be possible. I've yet to do the sums for
the filleted angled joint, and the cases where the vertical diameter is
smaller than the horizontal. I think that it may be better to separate
those situations, at least initially. Granularity, feature creep/whatever.
