Irregular Behavior of TranslateShape and RotateShape with
ParametricPlot3D
I have been successful in creating desired shapes with
ParametricPlot3D and then using TranslateShape and RotateShape on
them. Next time I start Mathematica TranslateShape and RotateShape do
not recognize the ParametricPlot3D as a graphics object and error
out. Sometimes it works again. For instance this sample code from
the Wolfram website errors out:
Needs["Graphics`ParametricPlot3D`"]
Needs["Graphics`Shapes`"]
Show[TranslateShape[SphericalPlot3D[2, {theta, 0, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2Pi},
\
DisplayFunction -> Identity], {1, 2, -2}], DisplayFunction -> \
$DisplayFunction];
TranslateShape is not a type of graphics.
This is so frustrating. Can anybody give me any hints where to start
troubleshooting this?
Thanks
