Hi Vitor - it's due to a limitation in our implementation of the p3d 
output, which only works for transfinite grids at the moment (you 
generate the grid by extrusion). Here's an example:

Point(1) = {0, 0, 0};
Point(2) = {4, 0, 0};
Point(3) = {4, 4, 0};
Point(4) = {0, 4, 0};

Line(1) = {4, 3};

Line(2) = {3, 2};

Line(3) = {2, 1};

Line(4) = {1, 4};

Line Loop(6) = {1, 2, 3, 4};

Plane Surface(6) = {6};

Extrude {0,0,20} { Surface{6}; }

Transfinite Line "*" = 11 Using Progression 1;
Transfinite Surface{28,27,23,19,15,6};
Recombine Surface {28,27,23,19,15,6};
Transfinite Volume{1};
