Is there any way to make a solid 3d mesh using 2 x 2d meshes (not as ends)?

Hello,

I imagine this must work in some way, but I can't find it on the Knowledge Base.

Please see here a picture that I created a 2d automesh on 2 different surfaces. And I'm trying to get HyperMesh to make a 3d mesh using these 2 surfaces. The surfaces have 1 common edge, so these are not 2 ends.

I really want a mesh like the end on the left in the picture (short-side), and I like how the long-side's elements line up with my 3d model shape.

When I use normal Solid Map mesh with the short-side as a source hint, it doesn't give the structure I want along the long-side since the top & bottom edge on the long-side are only allowed to have the same # of elements. As you can see, the log edge has 1 less element on the top vs bottom in the mesh that I want to create.

Thanks for any ideas how to get this to work.
