Wrong associations while blocking

Hi everyone,
I am new to using ICEM and I am trying to make a structured mesh for large 2D geometry. Due to the size of the geometry I have been using "2D Surface Blocking" to cut down on time. In general it works, but whenever my geometry connects several blocks into one (see below), it seems to link some of the edges together. Ultimately I would like to have the section mapped completely. I've tried to split the larger block, but it ends up splitting diagonally at the vertices and skewing the mesh even more. I've also tried to add nodes to the lower right edge and remove them from the edge above, but it effects the nodes on the other edges as well. |

You need to split the larger block as you said.
Either start with a new big block, taking your whole geometry, cut everywhere and delete useless blocks (see image), or you can start from one block in some part of the geometry and extrude it until it matches your whole geometry. First case seems easier here looking at your case. Good luck
