How come Cuboid[] appears to be designed such that RotateShape doesn't
work on it? The following doesn't do any rotation:
RotateShape[
Graphics3D[Cuboid [{0.1,1,1}]],
Pi/4,0,0]
The following is a workaround:
RotateShape[
AffineShape[Polyhedron[Cube],{0.1,1,1}],
Pi/4,0,0]
RotateShape looks for Polygon, Line, or Point objects to rotate, so
Cuboid must somehow not be made of those things. Is this correct? Is
there a reason that Cuboid[] is designed this way?
