Exploded Faces
One way to color an object differently on the sides as the front, or to use several textures or colors is to explode it. This is also a good way to break apart an object if you only want to use parts of it, as in an open box. Be warned this will dramatically increase file size and should be used only if you are really need it this way. Put a cube on your screen, highlight it in tree box. Go to EDIT, then to Explode into Faces, click it.
The Indexed Face Manager box will pop up, you will want to use explode then break into polygons to keep your file size lower. The number of facets will also increase the file size so go with the default or lower if possible. Your cube is now in a group and each side is listed as an indexed face set in your tree box. You can color or texture each side differently.
To move different indexed face set parts, make sure to click off SOLID in the properties for each and every one in the group or you will be able to see through your item on one side. Go to the indexed face properties box to find solid. Rotating the lid up will make a cute childs play box.
