Need help trimming surfaces

Is there a way I can trim these two surfaces together? I tried to high light one of them, so you can see what I am trying to do.

 

I want to trim the white surface to the pink surface, everything below the white. The piece off to the right of the white surface is what I am trying to eliminate....

 

I am basically trying to trim two models together and am having trouble with this

Ok, well I got that to work, I had to make some geometry and make a swept surface. Now the issue is it is seeing the curve that I made as indivudal line segments, so it splits my surface up into about 6-8 vertical segments.. It looks correct, but I can select each vertical segment as a different surface. Im thinking this will make my toolpaths weird, any way around that?

 

EDIT: May be something corrupted with the geometry, the other 3 fillets see it all as one line segment, but that one is splitting it up in multiple line segments..

Hey thanks for the help guys. Maybe tomorrow I will post it here to try and figure out how to fix that one side.

 

I was able to get 3 of the 4 to work by just creating wire geometry from the solid (curves) and using the swept surface function I was able to create the surfaces I needed.

 

I still couldn't figure out how to chain the spline as one entity. One of the curves was broken up into like 8 line segments, the others were one solid spline. I just cheated and mirrored the one surface to the other side. It toolpathed just fine :)
