Sounds like you didn't expand (i.e. replicate) your voxels in the Z
dimension.
I would think that a better approach would be to not attempt to
copy data values to produce voxels, but rather to let VisAD "do its
thing" (it will interpolate data values as necessary to "fill in" the
display).
Assuming you're using a FlatField, then its domain would be something
like the following:
new Integer3DSet(64,64,16)
