[Gmsh] Surface from compound lines

[F. A. Portela]

Hi Christophe,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I understand the error now, nevertheless, shouldn't it still be possible
for me to mesh the rectangle as I mentioned? I.e. if I make the "compound
line" transfinite, why can't I then make the surface itself transfinite?

Best regards,
Felipe
