When I think of a beam, I think of a straight line. If two lines (beams) actually intersect, they will be in the same plane. Right now, it's hard to make two beams intersect.

I'd like a studless "3d" version of that corner piece you pointed out that joins 3 beams at the intestection point of 3 mutually perpendicular lines. It just (...)
