| Hi Stephen, I just made some paper like this last weekend, except mine had both grids on it so that you could draw 3 different orthographic views (1 plan, 2 elevations). Mine is in AutoCAD, and not quite finished so I won't upload it (unless (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

Each box within the grid was the size of a 1x1 brick. The (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)
