Yes, I also find this unworkable. I guess the way this is intended to work is that the user Rotate/Scale/Translates the 3D graphic until they get what they want and then render to a 2D file format. I never got that to work, which is why I created an alternative graphics framework: http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/standards/program/mycode/graph/ The idea being that a specialised graphics program such as Blender is always going to produce better results than Axiom/FriCAS so I think the graphics should be exported as 3D and then edited (Rotate/Scale/ Translate) and rendered by a program that is good at that. It seems to me that 3D editing and rendering software requires a lot of maintenance to make sure it works with the latest user interfaces on peoples computers and if it can't be done properly, why leave it in Axiom/FriCAS at all? it just gives a bad impression of the program.
