This is what I use for a simple chamfer: offset_sweep( objPoints, height = 25.4, top = os_chamfer( width = 12.7 ) ); And each of these clauses works fine top = os_circle( r = 12 ) -OR- top = os_teardrop( r = 12 ) However, if I wanted just a steep side or top (say 10 degree angle ), or a shallow side or top angle, or simply making the top of the extrusion smaller than the bottom (a non-vertical side) then how would that be done?

It seems like "just a steep side or top" should be possible with os_chamfer by specifying the desired angle. But to achieve the full generality you simply need to use os_profile(). You can then specify the sequence of offsets that you want and their corresponding heights, so you can get any shape you want.

Been looking at the offset_sweep() docs and playing with your suggestions. Looks great so far. What is the purpose of "joint" and "cut"?

The parameters "joint" and "cut" are alternative ways to specify the size of a roundover instead of using radius, which can be confusing for sharp corners, and which doesn't exist for continuous curvature rounding. Check the BOSL2 docs for round_corners. It is explained there, with Figures 1-3. (I am thinking maybe I will make a top section on roundovers that I can link for the various functions that use "joint" and "cut" to make it easier to figure this out.)
