Let me expand on what Lloyd said.
If you don't really care about the orientation of each cube--you just want
a cube object at a number of points in space--simply import the set of
points (no connections), then use AutoGlyph ("cube" type glyph), then run
it into Color and set the color either using an item from the pull-down
menu in Color dialog box, or an RGB triplet or any X-color name like
"blue". Send this to Image. Since AutoGlyph makes polygons, you'll get
surface rendered objects.
For help on the capitalized function names mentioned above, see the User
Reference docs, or the online contextual help.
You only need to define the cube vertex positions and connectivity if you
DO care about creating a set of cubes that have orientations described by
your data field. In that case, do use ShowBoundary and Color or AutoColor
if you need a colormap.
