Hi Joe,
THe 2d operations comment in it's simplist form would be to take just the curve you extrudued and run a profile operation with a corner radius tool on the upper edge of the geometry to create the edge surface. So one profile cut to extract the shape out of a block then the second to get the fillet.

I'll post some more details about the other stuff in just a bit.
