How is it best to create a cube that spins with different images on the 6 faces?

Use a graphic editor to create a canvas that is 6X longer than it is high. For example 600 X 100, then place your 6 images in a 100 X 100 square. Save it in whatever format works for your show. Could be jpg, png, etc.

Add it to your show as a picture layer. Then in the layer list box on the far left side, select Cube. BT will make a cube out of your picture. You can then use sliders to do any rotation or movement you need.

But how does BT figure out the size of the thing? Or can't you enter values?

You can set the size of the cube with the SIZE property.

Hi, I have tried the cube, the horizontal axis is well, but in the vertical axis, one image is always upside down. May be
I can solve this in doing 2 animations, one for the horizontal
and one for the vertical. In one stroke, it takes 6 pictures, and in my way, 4 images for horizontal and 4 for horizontal.
But I would prefer in one shot with 6 images. Thanks....

Well, that's how it works in this world.

When you turn a book horizontally you can read the back cover. But when you turn the same book vertically everything is upside down. It would be pretty magic if this wasn't the case.
