I do hope the LEGO Ambassadors Issues List contains the problem of there NOT

A very good point. I was just thinking the other day about how there’s no good
way to model the most common types of windows one sees in real houses. The only
commonly available windows from LEGO today are the 1x4x3 shape, whereas in real
life I see a lot more windows that would be better modeled as 1x2x3 (double-hung
sashes) or 1x6x3 (windows that slide to open).
LEGO’s part designers are very clever but they haven’t really done anything with
window parts in some time. I know there’s a big resistance to creating new
parts (unless, of course, a licensee such as Lucas demands it) but this is one
area where they really should do something.
Another issue is DOORS. In real life most doors do NOT have windows in them.
Especially interior doors. The only LEGO door that works is the junior-type
2x4x5 frames, and color options are minimal. The standard LEGO door with the
windows filled in would be a BIG improvement (and might even be easier to
manufacture).
