* Use floor-to-floor portals to reach the Cube and Button.
* When using floor portals, cancel your exit portal as soon as you pop out of it, by firing the same colour somewhere else.  This is easy if you have a portal-friendly ceiling above, but can be tricky if you have to cast around for a surface mid-flight. 
* Fire the same color portal that you exit out of. This will not make the step counter go up.
* Place a portal right beside the button and another right in front of the Chamberlock. Jump through and cancel the exit portal. With luck, you can do this in two steps. 
* Make two portals to make to land on the button.
* Throw a portal onto the wall behind the cube and the other onto the floor in front of you. Crouch down to pick up the cube without taking any steps.  Don't reach through a wall or you will have to step back to get the cube clear of the sides.
* Be sure to get within range of the cube to pick it up before making a portal to the top button in the next room.
* Set the cube on the button then fire a portal through the walkway and the open door onto the ceiling above the higher button.  Don't waste any steps while doing this.
* Put your other portal on the floor in front of you then pick up the cube and drop it through.  You're trying to get it on a corner of the platform, not on the button itself.
* Fire this same portal right under your feet so you drop through onto the button.  If you're on top of the cube, start all over again - from your last quicksave, that is ;-)
* Portal the cube onto the other button. If you can't see it, revert to an earlier save.
* Portal the cube onto the other button. If you can't see it, revert to an earlier save.
