	howdy,

i need to plot this function (Cylindrical Coordinates)

Sin[5 f]

So i load the package <<Graphics`ParametricPlot3D` an use

CylindricalPlot3D[
   Sin[5 f],
   {r,2,4},
   {f,0,2 Pi}
]

I would like to have a smooth curve, so i add

PlotPoints -> 100 (ok now its real smooth ;-)

but now there is an ugly black mesh drawn on the graphic. I can't see
anything. Is there a way to make a smooth plot with y cylindrical mesh
having reasonable spaces (e.g. drawing the mesh for every 6th
calculatet point or something like that)

Greetings
	Christoph

PS: its Mathematica 3 under NT
