Select a line/curve AB near point A (A is chosen at the upper right corner)
Select a line/curve AD near point A (A is chosen at the upper right corner)
Select a line/curve CD (D is chosen at the lower right corner)
Select a line/curve BC (C is chosen at the lower left corner)
A mesh is generated with four elements on each side (the default which can be changed using Values).
