Suppose a floor meshed into 9 by 9 shells each is 1m x 1m and a wall meshed into 6 by 6 shells each is 1.5m x 1.5m.

In SAP2000 Version 8.2, how can the floor/wall interface shells be quickly meshed into a transition zone?

I tried "mesh using seleted joints and on edges" but it did work! SAP2000 Ver 8.2 is not smart enough to use triangular sheels to do the transition zone.

Any quick method?
