An ordinary partition is a row of numbers in nondecreasing order whose sum is n. Here the numbers are in a three-dimensional pile, nondecreasing in the x-, y- and z-directions.
Finding a g.f. for this sequence is an unsolved problem. At first it was thought that it was given by A000294.
Equals A000041 convolved with A002836: [1, 0, 2, 5, 12, 24, 56, 113, ...] and row sums of the convolution triangle A161564. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 13 2009

			Examples for n=2 and n=3.
a(2) = 4: 2; 11 where the first 1 is at the origin and the second 1 is in the x, y or z direction.
a(3) = 10: 3; 21 where the 2 is at the origin and the 1 is on the x, y or z axis; 111 (a row of 3 ones on the x, y or z axes); and three 1's with one 1 at the origin and the other two 1's on two of the three axes.
From _Gus Wiseman_, Jan 22 2019: (Start)
The a(1) = 1 through a(4) = 26 solid partitions, represented as chains of chains of integer partitions:
  ((1))  ((2))       ((3))            ((4))
         ((11))      ((21))           ((22))

                     ((2))((1))       ((2)(2))
                     ((1)(1)(1))      ((3)(1))
                     ((11))((1))      ((21)(1))
                     ((1)(1))((1))    ((11)(11))
