Hi Fabian - You didn't do anything wrong: we forgot to update the
transfinite volume meshing algorithm to take into account the fact that
we now allow "implicit" transfinite surfaces (when you don't specify the
corners by hand). This should be fixed in the next nightly build.

We've also added shortcuts ("*") to simplify Transfinite and Recombine
definitions: cf. attached file.

Thanks for the bug report!

Christophe

PS: wouldn't Extrude be simpler than Transfinite in this case?
