I managed to reduce the length of the 8th beam using the beam extension tool, but how do I do the same for the 16th and 32nd beams?

PS: I asked this very question on the old forum, so I surfed over there and searched for the answer, but alas I could not find the answer. I must say, it's like a ghost town over there. Quite spooky. I'm sure I saw a tumble weed blow past, lol! Three cheers for this forum :)

I found the answer.

Using the beam extension tool, I had to double click the handle and select the beams to be affected.
Cheers,

FWIW, there's a full-version TG Tools plugin which does this all in one go.
