    Window/Door Muntins

    Stange request from customer. Painted window sashes with muntins (grills)to match Golden Oak floors. Other than using molding lines and making my own and changing the material to match the color of the floor, is there a way we can change just the color of muntins without changing sash color???
    My guess is no...your's?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    I made an Architectural block from molding lines and placed then in the windows/doors...if there is a way to change the color of the actual muntins alone without changing the sash, I would still be interested in knowing how.
    Thanks.

    Doug,

    Its a no go on my end with the window mutin tools. It doesn't give you a new material option.

    Hi Doug
    First, get the snow out of there.
    Might work if you made a window symbol with muttons different material..

    I know,hows things by you? I saw the snow after I posted. Thats pretty much what I did. It's just a tic tac toe lines converted to molding. blocked and placed. It was just a strange request with the windows being white.

    I just made this request on another thread in Suggestions. Natural wood muntins with white frames looks kinda weird IMO , but being able to set the color of the muntins would be useful to me for creating leaded glass windows.
