Technics beams and plates?

I'm trying to build my first L-draw / MLcad model, and my first step
was to use a 1x10 technic beam, and since my parts list only has 1x2
and 1x14, my virtual creation stopped before it started.  I'll bet
there is a simple way to convert the 1x14 into all the 1xN beams
avail.  But I can't seem to figure it out.

Same goes for technic plates, only the 2x4 is avail.

Do I need to figure out how to modify my existing parts, or is my
library incomplete.  I downloaded the latest parts list:

Current Parts Update LCAD 2000-02 - September 30, 2000

I even looked at the UNofficial parts, but there were none to help me.


what do I need to do?

Thanks

These are both ARJ archives, in self-extracting packages (just like lcad0002.exe (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
