This may or may not be any help, but when I built my 4' swing bridge
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6920) I had never built a
technic bridge before. All I did was employ a little trial and error.
So I guess my comment would be that a prior command of beam-geometry isn't
really necessary-- it *is* possible to figure it out the old fashioned way-- on
the fly:-)
Good luck!
