Thanks.  That's a nice idea.  It should work with all of the regularly 
spaced parallel boards I have here, and it might also work well for the 
siding.  My problem is that I model things as if I'm actually building 
them.  I even find myself "cutting" ends of boards to make them fit, 
when the actual end would disappear into some other object, anyway.
