Abstract: The $n$-skeleton of the canonical cubulation $calC$ of $mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ into unit cubes is called the {it canonical scaffolding} $calS$. In this paper, we prove that any smooth, compact, closed, $n$-dimensional submanifold of $mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ with trivial normal bundle can be continuously isotoped by an ambient isotopy to a cubic submanifold contained in $calS$. In particular, any smooth knot $mathbb{S}^{n}hookrightarrowmathbb{R}^{n+2}$ can be continuously isotoped to a knot contained in $calS$.
