The Cube of Light

Description
So, um...I got bored one night.

This isn't intended to be a puzzle, or to offer any sort of challenge. It's just a cube of light panels, "suspended" by 16 tractor beams in the middle of a gigantic, trippy symmetrical chamber. Have fun with it! Or just go to the opposite side and exit without bothering anything. Loser.

Nearly every surface in this "test" chamber is portalable. You don't want to know how long it took to compute the lighting and visibility.

UPDATED!
v1.1: Becuase this is far and away my my most popular map, I've put in quite a few more things, including both gel types, lots of aerial faith plates, and a bunch of boxes and spheres to play around with. The spheres can also reverse the direction of one side of tractor beams. I've got some more changes planned, but have fun with this for now!

v.1.1.1: Changed the sphere buttons to regular ones, so you can use boxes to reverse the tractor beams too. Also added a switch next to the exit to prevent unintended vaporization. :P

This is the greatest creation I have ever seen in Portal 2 workshop history. Love it! Great work!

Yeah but when you play so many others, mindset is how do I solve this massive chamber?

@Carpetbeater: It isn't supposed to be a puzzle; it's just a sandbox-type map to have fun in.

It does look pretty?

All I had to do was reverse the polarity of the beams? Came away thinking there must be something else? Got the extra cubes to rotate in the beams at the corners of the box? Didn't need gels at all didn't need anything other than portals to get cubes in place?

Very cool! Try mine. They are the first ones I've published so far.
