The method to create a hybrid mesh.

It is important that this construction geometry be uniquely named and that both mesh types are projected to it and its perimeter... Then go to Edit Mesh => Merge => Merge meshes. You can check the help from there to get the rest of the way.
For optimal results, try to match the volume of the tetras to the volume of the hexas. This usually requires you to have hexas at the surface that are thinner than they are wide. An aspect ratio of about 3 usually works well enough, but you can calculate the exact number (I forget right now).
