Hi, I need some help with this graphic. It doesn't look right, but i cant quite put my finger on it. The perspective is a bit messed or something, but im not sure how. I know it's not shaded and it's block etc etc, that's not what im worried about right now, I need help fixing the shape, any ideas/suggestions?

I think I know what it is.

For, the front beam, at the angle, the bottom edge of it is going over the boundry of the main beam in the middle. However, the top edge is not doing this to the top main beam.

That's weird, you won't find that done with any wood made stuff, so it looks weird. I think. If you moved the angle wood beam, to be down more, and not go over the boundry, it might look better.

you could make both diagonal beams stop at the middle beam and not cross over it

actually, i think it would look a lil better like this... taking that most structures like these are built this way, rather than having wood have to make any big bends or whatnot

As soon as I saw your first post I was already thinking that it should be like that. Very nice

Hmm, yeah... that was probably the most confusing thing I have typed out, ever.

I said it wasn't done, (if you're refering to the first version). And if you are refering to the third version... you are blind... @_@

No, I dont think it would look like that, because these are mine supports, and if you look in a mine in the olden days, they were made slopply... so they wouldn't angle the boards and things like that so they would fit perfectly, they would just put one on each side...

Here, I used it in a level.

Ps. Thanks for all your help!
