Hi, if you Export[] the 3d object many systems need color and material properties in a sequence of statements before any drawing starts, and it is hard to collect the directives form the arbitary order in Mathematica into the clean order that say PovRay or Maya like. The Directive[] collect all directrives that apply to the primitives and make the Export[] easyer.
