The main caveat with my fillet operator is that it won’t preserve holes through the intersecting region because it uses hull. You have to difference() out the holes after the fillet operation if you care about them.

I filed issue 1562 - https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1562 https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1562 - requesting a convex_decomposition() operator, however the implicit unions issue would gate that implementation - https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/350 https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/350
