[Gmsh] Meshing stackup with thin & thick layers

I have a composite stackup with alternating thin & thick layers. The thick
ones are are rougly 10x the thickness of the thin ones, and the aspect
ratio is on the order of 100:1. The mesh for something like this is always
huge. Is there a way to treat the thin layers as 2D shells, while keeping
the thicker ones 3D? The model is being exported as a STEP file and brought
into Gmsh.

Thanks,
Drew
