I have a spline on surface (see image) and I need to set tangency to surface edge (to trim the corner).
I drag and connect the endpoint to the surface edge OK
Ctrl select the curve and the surface edge > select the tangency relation
Keep getting an 'over defined' error
Any suggestions?
(I've attached the file but it's from an educational license)
Also take a look what happens on that edge after building ruled surfaces normal to the original surface:
Open the attached file.
At times like this, I make a construction line with endpoint coincident to edge and line tangent to edge. then make spline tangent to construction line.
Nice one, Roland. It works fine as an approximation here. Sean, make sure you delete the inner point of the spline. A 2 point spline should work fine.

Hi,
try to create a ruled surface to surface edges. The first is normal (blue), the second is tangent (red). At these surfaces you can add spline tangency.
Cheers for the replies chaps.
Can't use a fillet as the spline shapes is not 'arc' like - needs 3rd point to adjust mid area
Using Rolands suggested construction line worked fine,
Cheers,
Have you consider using an actual fillet?
