4 years ago I'm definitely open to adding dependencies if they add new capacities. It sounds like z3py might do that for sure.
I think there's an easier solution for your particular fillet issues (example below), but I'm a little intrigued by the z3py system. Do you have any more examples of how we might use it?
In your specific example though, have you looked at offset() at all? I was working on some filleted stuff recently and realized it is much more capable than I thought.
Here's an example of a concave 2D fillet:
#! /usr/bin/env python
from solid import *
SEGMENTS = 48
def concave_fillet():
points = (
(0,0),
(1,0),
(1,1),
(0.5, 0.25),
(0,1)
)
fillet_rad = 0.1
concave = offset(r=-fillet_rad)(
offset(r=fillet_rad)(
polygon(points)
)
)
return concave
if __name__ == '__main__':
a = concave_fillet()
out_path = scad_render_to_file(a, file_header='$fn = %s;' % SEGMENTS, include_orig_code=True)
print(f'Wrote file to {out_path}')

Hi, I'm using z3py solver in my projects to solve 2D constraints like
and we should be able to combine them in arbitrary way. They're useful for finding tangent line/circle and defining fillets (concave fillets can not be constructed using minkowski).
With z3 solver these problems become much easier solve. I'm considering to extract my code into a module and submit to SolidPython, but that means SolidPython will depend on z3. Is that dependency fine or something we should try to avoid?
Thanks
