Well, I think non of these functions really make sense:
surf_area: A 2D annotation has an area in the 3D space. But it
depends on the scale which depends on the zoom on the screen, for
example. With this, the area is highly volatile.
volume: OK, this indeed could make sense: It's always 0.
centroid: The annotation has a fix-point in the 3D model space but its
real position depends on the viewing angle. I.e., we have a similar
situation as with surf_area here.
Therefore, it's reasonable to omit these functions. They are intended
to inspect the model but the annotation isn't a real part of it.
