That should be fine. You can combine manual and automated meshes in the same 
file. When the generate_gui_configuration script runs it maintains any 
manually defined meshes so it should not be an issue.

You should be able to use the JSON on the same machine where it is published. 
If you need any help debugging please feel free to send any error messages 
generated by the generate_configuration and/or generate_gui_configuration 
commands.
