purple thing doesn't help you much. You will need to start saving up your
"bricks with technic pegs embedded" pieces as you'll be using a lot of them.

How about the yellow and black "swivel connector"?  It's a yellow 1-beam, with
knobs at each end, and two black rings wrapped around the middle, with a knob
on each ring.  The rings can rotate independently, positioning the two knobs
anywhere around the axis of the yellow beam.  The only limit is the black
knobs must have an angle of separation at least 90-degrees.

These would easily make a corner in a rectilinear (sp?) lattice.  This this:

They'd be useful for octagonal buildings, too. :)
