    If you have trouble visualising things such that you needed to trace over an image of a cube you nicked off Google Images, you're in for a world of pain when it comes to jbeaming more complex objects.

    And yes, you need those red beams.

    When building a structure out of Jbeams, the best thing you can set your mind too is like building it out of magnetix.

    MagnetixRCtetra.jpg

    The nodes are the little magnetic balls and the beams are the... well... beams

    Basically, like in magneticx, the balls or nodes have no friction to hold the beams with... so they act like ball joints with infinite freedom of movement. The beams that connect everything together, on the other hand, literally do just that. To make a structure strong, you have to limit the nodes movement. You do this by adding beams to that node to limit the nodes movement.

    If that isn't what you were looking for just say something and I can try to explain it better.

    Okay? Maybe that post would have been better off in the YouTube comments over on that video.
