AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the surface net of a rectangular prism, consisting of six rectangles. Start by defining four vertices A, B, C, and D to form the base, then use vectors and translation commands to construct the other four vertices E, E', F, and G. Next, use these vertices to construct six rectangles, and finally connect the corresponding sides of these rectangles to form the complete surface net.
