Hi All,
I put together an oval window design. James was kind enough to render it for
me (thanks James). The "Opposing Stud" gif is a pic of 3 different
geometries that are exactly a multiple of some number of plates tall. For
example a technic rivit with two 1x1 rnd bricks on each end is NOT a
multiple of a plate thickness... The cross beam example is a bit tricky. It
must be inserted in the "X" orientation then rotated 45 degs to the "+"
orientation for it to "snap" in.
