rcoord := 10{Random[], Random[], Random[]}

Show[Graphics3D[Table[Cuboid[rcoord], {20}]]];

If you get a lot of overlap of the cuboids then Mathematica may be very slow
in rendering the picture because it has to determine what lines and faces
are in front and visible.

i am trying to create random 3d objects constisting of cuboids; as the
end result i need the coordinates of the cuboids;

however, i am having trouble with the commands from the very start;
even when i cut and paste the following line from mathematica

Show[Graphics3D[Table[Cuboid[rcoord], {20}]]]

i am getting error messages of the sort
Graphics3D::nlist3: rcoord is not a list of three numbers



could anyone help?
