i think it's fairly common practice to build an object centered at <0,0,0>
from the camera's point of view you'd prefer a view of let's say the 
opposite side of the object without moving the camera. i'd first rotate the 
object using rotate y*180 then translate to the position in the scene .... 
does that answer your question?

Jim
