After a few observation sessions at the 383 Madison Av building site (that's in
New York where my company is building anew) I have decided to try just a cubic
lattice. No triangular beam thingies, and I don't yet know what a Znap "panel"

still protrudes.

around in a rectangle, I will insert purple things at regular intervals to join
this level to the others above and below. Therefore, the exterior will have no
support on the corners, but plenty of vertical support members along the sides.
And that's how it is in my 383 Madison building....
Yeah right, 383 Madison is an *octagon*...

| I'm building ZNAP choo-choo bridges as well. One is 6 feet long and carries two levels of trains, so I have some feel for how ZNAP would extend to large-scale construction frames. ZNAP is softer than TECHNIC beams; it flexes a lot more, which has (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.znap)
