        I propose that we set up a new forum for Cubists. We need the cube necessarily to develop. It is still a long way to the perfect cube. I call it the squaring of the cube. Might be worthy of the Nobel Prize.

          I dunno, that name is too square, you need to think outside the box.

            Took me awhile but I think I got it so it looks square from every side.

            I thought SU was supposed to be easy to use? 😆 cube.skp

              I've found it at last, the earth is not a sphere but a cube. I will outline the evidence tomorrow.

                I found that if I modeled this correctly, I would get a perfect square. Late Password Host Allen Ludden -- the most perfect square I know. 🤣

                If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                    We should propose to Google to update the elevation maps so that it fits better into this packaging:

                    Initiative for efficient packaging!

                      They say a cube is just an infinite number of squares stacked together.

                                        You guys blow me away with your advanced shape modeling. Maybe, on day, after I've mastered the line, I'll be able to catch up.
