Apple's sloppy work OR can this be accomplished?

Hi guys,


Depending on personal preferences, chart depth may or may not be important.


When we select 3D Stacked Column chart and under 3D Scene we select Rectangle, we're given option to select "Chart Depth" (which is a very nice feature). See:

However, some people don't like Rectangles. I prefer Cylinders. If Cylinder is selected under 3D Scene, no option is given for "Chart Depth." See:

Any other way to accomplish Chart Depth? Why this option is not included in Cylinder Bars?

Since we are fellow users (like you) we can annoy suppose about why something was done one way or another.


My guess is that the rectangles are variable in one axis (you can adjust a dimension with the slider). A cylinder is a base of a circle, and, therefore, in order to remain a circle is not adjustable.

Of course you can adjust the orientation using the control I highlighted.


I think the "Chart depth" is misnamed and would be better named "Base width" or something like that.
