Yeah, if it's not a core part it isn't truly universal - I make one-off odd ball length resistors all the time, eg 0.450" etc -, but the work around is that you put the value in the part# and right-click "show part label", then right-click that label and choose what you want to show.
You can also click on a std resistor so it's highlighted with a box, grab the corner and rotate it so it stands up at say 20º, and drag a leg down to the pin hole.
