COMMENTS
Each part is represented by a cuboid of sides 1 X 1 X k where k is the size of the part. For the definition of "regions of n" see A206437.
FORMULA
a(n) = A182244(n) + A182727(n) + A182181(n), n >= 1.
a(A000041(n)) = 2*A006128(n) + A066186(n).
EXAMPLE
For n = 11 the three views of the shell model of partitions with 11 regions look like this:
.
. A182181(11) = 35 A182244(11) = 66
.

. 1 2 3 i * * 3 * 2 1

. 1 1 2 2 i * 2 * 2 1 1

. A182727(11) = 35
.
The areas of the shadows of the three views are A182244(11) = 66, A182181(11) = 35 and A182727(11) = 35, therefore the total area of the three shadows is 66+35+35 = 136, so a(11) = 136.
