-This container assembles ​maps into a raster cube data set (multilayer map). +Assembles the maps connected inside this container ​into a single ​multilayer map (a raster cube), stacking one layer per connected map. Each map is connected through a [[Number And Name Map]] hook, which supplies the name and stacking position of its layer; hooks with position 0 are treated as unordered and are placed, sorted alphabetically by name, below every explicitly positioned layer.

 +Only [[Number And Name Map]] hooks can be connected inside this container. 
 + 
 +Only the first layer of each connected map is added to the cube; any further layers of that map are ignored. 
 + 
 +Every connected map must share the same dimensions; the first map's spatial format is used to validate the others and to build the output map. 
 + 
 +Categorization data carried by the connected maps is discarded.
  
-[[Number And Name Map]] functor must be used within this container ​to link the input maps.+Each connected map's cells are cast to the output Cell Type; a cell whose value cannot ​be represented without truncation raises an error. Null cells are converted ​to the output Null Value.
  
-They are used to assign a name and an order to the layers of the output multilayer map. Zero means that the layer position in the output ​map is not relevant; ​the zero numbered ​maps will be sorted by name and stacked at the bottom of the pile.+Raises ​an error if no map is connected inside this container, if two connected maps share the same name, or if two connected ​maps are assigned ​the same stacking position.
  
-//A model showcasing how to build a raster cube map using this operator can be found [[raster cube|here]].//+Raises an error if Null Value is not compatible with Cell Type.
