Default Measuring glass.

Think I've missed a bit out. Looking at the way the door was constructed,
the panel openings to the inside are a lot bigger to the inside than
outside of the door. So to avoid seeing through the glass to the putty on
the outside moulding, a wood strip appears to have been added to cover
that up - with just a fillet of putty round the outside of it. That wood
strip runs up to the original mouldings inside the door. And the top bit
is a semi-circle which I've no wish to try and make again - as it is bound
to break if I removed it.

But what I dunno until the glass is removed is whether it goes behind this
strip of wood.
