Chee,

Look up the SurfaceOfRevolution package in the Add-ons Standard Packages
Help.

Needs["Graphics`SurfaceOfRevolution`"]

SurfaceOfRevolution[x^2, {x, 0, 2},
    PlotPoints -> {15, 31},
    ImageSize -> 450];

Hi,

How do I use Mathematica to plot 3D graphs of solids of revolution?

Example:
A curve y=x^2 is revolved about the y-axis. How do I use Mathematica to
generate the solid of revolution?
