Dear Mathgroup members, I would like to combine two 'transparent' function plots. Mathematica renders 'transparent' plots when the option HiddenSurface->False is given, for example: p1= Plot3D[x+y, {x,0,1},{y,0,1}, HiddenSurface->False] Now I want to combine it with a second plot: p2= Plot3D[Sin[8 x y], {x,0,1},{y,0,1}, HiddenSurface->False] However, when I request Show[p1,p2] Mathematica has lost the HiddenSurface option and plots both surfaces filled. And even worse, it does not accept the option in Show. Show[p1,p2, HiddenSurface->False] I tried some other solutions, for example using SurfaceGraphics explicitly: p1=SurfaceGraphics[Table[x+y],{x,0,1,0.1},{y,0,1,0.1}], HiddenSurface->False] p2=SurfaceGraphics[...] Show[p1,p2] However, none of the were successful. A more heroic goal would be to combine a transparent with an non-transparent plot. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance, Johannes Ludsteck <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Johannes Ludsteck Institut fuer Volkswirtschaftslehre Lehrstuhl Prof. Dr. Moeller Universitaet Regensburg Universitaetsstrasse 31 93053 Regensburg Tel +49/0941/943-2741
