(...) Amen. (...) I just recently built a Truss bridge as well and pretty much ended up in the same place you did. I don't think using liftarms would help much in my case since all my members were created using 1x2 beams attached to 1xN bricks with (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks JT! You can make things a little easier by not connecting all the member ends at one common point (like you did with the diagonal connection). Also, take a look at Ross' truss bridge: (URL) joints don't meet at a common point, or (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

I did it slightly differently (but same basic idea for my harbour bridge (URL) This was forced on me by the weight of the arch - not having the symmetric main beams would've damaged the connection axles, or the holes they went through.
