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

          This is impossible to model with SU.. I need 3ds or Maya or something more powerful.. ๐Ÿ˜•

            Yeah, I know. I had to import it, too. I suffered the most with UV Mapping. ๐Ÿ˜ข

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

                                  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)

                                  1. 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)

                                  1. Switch to an isometric view:

                                  2. 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.
                                  1. Export model to DWG and import into SketchUp

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