Each part is represented by a cuboid 1 X 1 X L where L is the size of the part.
FORMULA
a(n) = A066186(n) + A194804(n) + A194805(n), n >= 1.
EXAMPLE
For n = 7 the shadows of the three views of the shell model of partitions version "tree" with seven shells looks like this:
. | Partitions
. A194805(7) = 25 A066186(7) = 105 | of 7

Note that, as a variant, in this case each part is labeled with its position in the partition.
The areas of the shadows of the three views are A066186(7) = 105, A194804(7) = 59 and A194805(7) = 25, therefore the total area of the three shadows is 105+59+25 = 189, so a(7) = 189.
