I am not sure what the issue is. There are many ways for rounding surface corners. I don't really get the process you are describing doing it.

You can use fillet surface, variable fillet or blend tool for these operations. You should probably show a illustration of what the problem is.

Using the fillet surface command:

Ok i get it. I would do this operation with a trim on the surface. You can do this by choosing adjustable curve blend then use G2 or what ever continuity you want to correct the shape of the curve and then trim the surface. Easy peasy :)

If u just want a simple fillet you can make this trim curve by the fillet curve command and choosing the surf edge.

You just type fillet. nothing else. Then it asks u for the curves, select radius, then top and side curve. done! are u using version 4?

The filletedge command is not for this operation

Its this ikon:

And for adjustable blend:nd:

Another simple way it arc-tangent to curves. You can manually set the size of the arc that you use to trim your surface with.
