> Very nice.  Are the window casements generated from the brick macro?

Thanks!  :-)

Yes, the window-arches are the same iso-surface bricks that make up the
entire building.  I made a special macro just for the arches.  It's not a
very portable macro, but it worked well enough for my specific purpose.  A
more portable macro would probably include the number of bricks to use,
radius of the inside and outside portion and maybe a cut-off angle.

I've spent quite a bit of time on this, and will probably continue to do so.
I actually went to the old school and measured the bricks to make sure that
I was keeping this realistic, and I've counted the bricks between windows,
etc.  It's not going to be EXACT, but I hope to have a model (and scene)
that's good enough for people in this area to look at it and say, "Hey,
that's the old school on Colony Road."  That would make my day.
