Keep connectivity with surrounding elements on unmeshed surface

Hi, 

I have an existing model consisting of only shell elements (no surface at all). These shell elements are not connected, so I created the red surface. I'm hoping to create a compatible mesh on the red surface that connects with both the green/yellow shell elements on the left and the blue shell elements on the right. The problem is the automesher does not recognise the existing elements, as they are shell elements without surfaces.

Any ideas on how to do this quickly beside manually setting the edge seed number?

    You can associate the existing nodes to the surface and that should seed them.
