I hope your are giving us an hour for this level of difficulty Gaieus!!

[Khai]

an hour only!?

I'm gonna need more time!

[david_h]

I blew it. . .

[stefanq]

funny guys..

EDIT: can't wait to see Pete's model for this

[Chris Fullmer]

I figured out the front, but I'm struggling with the how to do the back.

[david_h]

nope. . .can't do it. . . .

This is impossible to model with SU.. I need 3ds or Maya or something more powerful..

Yeah, I know. I had to import it, too. I suffered the most with UV Mapping.

Gaieus.. really hard challenge I see.. sorry for the poor result with this bad low-poly model

Here is my version , but I think it was removed by a moderator...

No, that's probably a parallel projection/front view cube.

[solo]

oops.

[solo]

TIG, that thing hypnotised me.

[TIG]

Sorry I think I misunderstood the type of Cube...
Hope plugins were allowed...

[TIG]

Perhaps it should have been in the 'Is Anything Impossible' thread ?

[olishea]

TIG my brain is melting!

edit: Only those with a two dimensional point of view will see it that way.

[Gaieus]

And that's not even fair, TIG. We are suffering with the basics here and you post such a teaser!

Tutorial for creating a cube.

1. Start up ARRIS CAD (You might be able to do this with AutoCAD as well)

2. Type in the "Single Line" command: :sln

3. Enter 5 points for the base of the cube

=A(0,0,0)
=A(10,0,0)
=A(10,10,0)
=A(0,10,0)
=A(0,0,0)

4. Repeat for the top of the cube:

:sln;=A(0,0,10);=A(10,0,10);=A(10,10,10);=A(0,10,10);=A(0,0,10)

5. Switch to an isometric view:

6. Use "Single Alternating Line" :sal to connect the base points with the top points.

• Use the cursor and the mouse, and the right-hand mouse button to snap to the ends of the existing lines.

7. Export model to DWG and import into SketchUp

8. Use the SketchUp Face tool to draw faces on each of the 6 sides.
