I don't understand well your question.

In 'GiD terms' it seems that do you simply want to join the two adjacent 'triangular prism' volumes, to have a volume with 6-surfaces, in order to be able to mesh it structured (with hexahedra finite elements) .

You can join volumes with
Geometry->Edit->Join->Volumes
and select your two volumes
(do it another time for the symmetrical part)

Instead of use 'Join volumes' tool, you can off course manually delete the volumes, the unwanted surfaces, lines and points shared by the volumes, and create again a single volume with its boundary surfaces, and apply again attached data like materials, etc if necessary.

then set it to be meshed structured (required volume of 6-surfaces, topologically a box)
Mesh->Structured->Volumes->Assign number of cells
and click the lines on each three cube directions with the amount of divisions you want (2 by default)

And set that the element type you want is hexahedra
Mesh->Element type->Hexahedra
