Thanks for this reply. This site is easy to use for shelves but I
found the terminology when applying the application to a beam to be
difficult.

Just make the "depth" equal to the width of the beam and the "thickness"
equal to the height.

A shelf is just a "deep", "thin" beam. A beam is just a "thick" shelf that
is not very "deep".

Thanks again!
