Problem
I have been trying to create a 3d cube out of 6 SSC's. It is working OK except some of the cube faces are invisible or transparent. I have tried rearranging the scopes but as soon as one side gets fixed another one goes bad.

The invisible cube faces are being 'covered' by others. One solution is to change the render mode to maximum

you have to use depth coloring as well, e.g.:
col=z3/3+0.7;
red=col; green=col; blue=col;

Yeah, because it isn't a 2D object, and you want to use filled sides, you will have to shade the back so that you can't see it.

Or you can make a cube from 1 ssc using a counter(a=0 in frame and a=a+1 in pixel) and a lot of equals(like equal(a,2)+equal(a,3)...).Attachment : preset i made and mostly played with it :)

I tried changing the render mode and using depth coloring but if the faces are different colours it still shows through.

What color shows through? If black shows through, then you need to use maximum blend.

It is just like before except with maximum blend on.

That means that you didn't do your depth shading correctly. The back faces should be made completely black if you don't want to see them.
