Chris,
My sincerest apologies for my remark - After double checking I realized that
although I had installed the latest updates, I had not purged the unofficial
files from the directories and started looking for liftarms to only find half...
Thank you (and anyone else who collaborated) for a magnificent job. I half
expected everything to become liftarm, but I see the wisdom in choosing the
general name Beam since it will also place those beams next to the bricks they
are so often used with. Thanks again!
Jetro
