Hello everybody, Consider the following problem Plot3D[x + y, {y, 0, 1 - x^2}, {x, -1, 1}] or Plot3D[x + y, {x, -1, 1},{y, 0, 1 - x^2}] Both are not accepted because Mathematica demands constant limiting values for both x and y. This seems strange to me. Is there a way to plot a function of two variables where the limiting values of one depend on the other? I solved the problem by plotting ParametricPlot3D[{r Cos[t], r^2 (Sin[t])^2,r^2 (Sin[t])^2 + r Cos[t]}, {t, 0, \[Pi]}, {r, 0, 1}] but in general I find this to complicated. Is there a direct way? Sincerely, Frans de Boer
