If you can make your polygon using atoms, you can move and rotate it independently in quite interesting ways. That's actually a nice idea. Also, though, you might consider using the PMESH command rather than DRAW. A pmesh object can be rotated, and offset easily. One catch, I think, is that if it has sharp edges (like a cube), you might get some odd shadings that you don't get with the draw version. it wouldn't be hard at all to add ROTATE to the DRAW command similarly to the way it was added recently to the PMESH/ISOSURFACE command.
What's your specific application, Evgeny?
