Can you use inflation on all edges?

  I tried to use a mesh inflation on a duct inlet and also on the walls of the duct, hoping this would give me a very fine mesh at the inlet. However, Meshing gives a failure method.
  
  Is there any way to mesh two perpendicular walls such that it is inflated from both directions?

  Hello,
  
  What is the error? Can you post the screenshot in your comment?
  Also, can you show some illustration of what exactly you mean by the question in the last line?

  Put a small blend radius in the corner between the two walls. Inflation elements can mesh around that corner more easily than a sharp corner.
