Let $D$ be the set of directions of the lines of $L$ considered as points of the projective space at infinity. We give a geometric construction of a set of lines $L$, where $D$ contains an $N^{n-1}$ grid and where $S$ has size $2((1/2)N)^n$, given a starting configuration in the plane. We provide examples of such starting configurations for the reals and for finite fields.
