AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a box with three sliders to control its length, width, and height, showing the calculation of its volume and lateral surface area. View it from three orthogonal directions, marking the intersection points of the views with the coordinate axes. Draw the unfolded net of the box, including its base, top, and four sides, in different colors. Find the midpoints of the diagonals of the base and top, and connect these midpoints to form new polygons, highlighting the geometric construction details.
