This paper proposes a new method of creating 3D visual data cubes for high volume/dimension OLAP data analysis with intuitive region selection. Previous methods construct data cubes directly from a data warehouse and build table format cubes with multi-dimensional attributes, in order to specify target ranges for analysis. However, it is a difficult task to select appropriate attributes and their ranges from high cardinality of dimensions with hierarchical structure. The new method reduces the number of dimensions according to the levels of relationship, then confines analysis target ranges with intuitive 3D graphical interface to build an analysis target cube.
