Model this - a simple cube

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

It's the basis of a Rubik's Snake - like a Rubik's Cube but...

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.

Being from German family I could just stick a picture of my head up and fool you all that it was modelled! Blockhead!
