I don't follow. It appears your diagonals go in both directions, mirrored
about the center of the bridge:

Or did you mean that your diagonals go from top right to bottom left
(looking at the right-half of a span), and the diags on my spreadsheet goes
from top left to bottom right? If that's the case, I'm sorry. I actually
wrote another spreadsheet with the diagonals in the other direction. I
should have sent you both, but I thought I had.

No problem! I'm glad to see such an impressive bridge!
For all those who asked about my spreadsheets: I'm currently revising them
and making them more user friendly by adding a lot of written directions.
I'll make them available soon.
