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
