This may have been mentioned before but I don't remember seeing it on the forum. I found a very easy way to create nice looking straight window grids for buildings or fronts. I use transparency film (for overhead projectors) and Microsoft Spreadsheet. Spraedsheet lets you adjust columns vertically. So you can make the grids as wide as you want. I adjust the lines to where I want them and then print them on the transparency film. I cut the film to fit and then glue them onto the building or front. See the picture. I hope this helps some of you out.

That looks nice Chris.

thanks chris ... great idea, and one that wont drive you crazy doing it! good post

The neat thing is you can easily make them diamond shape like is used for door windows with frosted safety glass sometime. I have never seen a commercially made door like that.

Thanks for the tip, NSChris!

Good suggestion NSChris, and thanks for showing your work. Designing things on a computer and printing or otherwise using that design to implement something is very powerful. You can also design a complex palladian window, or fancy door pattern, and print it out using the same technique.
