[pstricks] 3d "arrows"

All: I have included a program which draws a "circular" arrow indicating a direction of rotation. This is meant to demonstrate the right hand rule with the vector pointing in the z direction (as shown). The picture looks great and was exactly what I was trying to do. However, my method is not very generalizable and if I wanted to do it again I would need to recalculate some absolute coordinates (e.g. the position of the arrow). Does any one have a suggestion as to how this type of object can be compartmentalized within pst-solides3d? Thanks and happy new year. Jon
