Description
I should make some tutorials.Some folks have asked before how to do structural things, particularly in Flash...
This is pretty much it in a nutshell. Two basic techniques here:
Cross a line with a helper line to add a corner point to it. Cross two lines and delete one leg to make a 3-way join.
And it's easier to make the intersections you need with the pencil tool then straighten, than to try to use the line tool for EVERYTHING.

Wow. That's a really different approach from what I'd use. Then again, I tend to approach problems from the programming side of things, so my approach would involve a lot of maths.

A circle to make a cube? I thought you were trolling us there for a while.

I would've never guessed you'd make a cube with a circle o.o

Well, like I mentioned to someone below, it might've actually been better to start with a triangle. But I didn't even think of that when I made this. XD
The point is, for building stuff like this, you start by building the right structure for it, THEN worry about mooshing the points into the right position.

this certainly helps me......if I had flash XD
but I'll keep this in mind for college

It's Flash.
For building things with flat faces like this, it's far easier to construct the structure first, THEN worry about where everything goes.
I suppose I could have started with a triangle, too-

That's a strange way to make a cube. I'd just draw a cube. XD
I think I need to get to know flash better.

This is just drawing a cube! If you try to just draw the lines you want, you wind up with intersections that don't quite line up- all your corners with multiple regions have little jaggy bits on them!
