The place where this "feature" of all modellers I've seen gets me is
with the cylinder.  Whenever I use a cylinder, it's along the lines of

  cylinder { <3,2,4>,<1,1,3>,.5 }

which with most modellers has to be done by calculating the scaling and
rotation outside of the program, and then entering them by hand.  This
is why I don't use them.
