Here is the table of diagonal beam fits you have all been waiting for!
If you want to cross-brace a Technic beam structure with pegs and a diagonal
brace, this tells you what will fit. It also tells you how you can connect
things to get a specific angle. The table covers everything that can be made
with a 16-stud beam with a one-stud one-hole addition as the diagonal brace.
Some lengths require a half-hole fit of the diagonal brace, and you can create
that by sticking the little one-hole on the end with some skinny plates. Half-
hole horizontal spacings can be accomplished with either the one-stud or with
a stud-under-hole positioning of the beams.
X = The number of holes across the horizontal beam
Y = The number of holes vertically up a stack. 1/3 of a hole is accomplished
with a plate as a shim.
H = the number of holes across the diagonal brace.
* = the strain of the fit. *** = tight fit. ** = easy fit. * = essentially
perfect fit. No star = mathematically perfect fit.
Angle = Degrees of angle from vertical of the diagonal brace
