How do I 3D extrude a stack of boxes?

I've got one layer of boxes extruded as I'd like them, but how do I now make 7 more layers of boxes on top of this one to render a pallet in the correct perspective? I'm using the 3D classic and settings are attached.

That won't happen.

3D in Illustrator is actually 2,5D. Each of the objects is in its own 3D world.

 

What you can do is make one big box and apply maps on the outside that mimic the single boxes.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing as I'm running out of time on the deadline. I was just hoping there was some tricky little way to achieve it. Thanks, Monika!
