Hi I have a question about mathematica 4.2. What I have is a 3D pointparametricplot and what I would like to do is take about half the points and turn them into some other symbol, say a cube or a circle. I have tried to do this through many different methods ranging from using the MultiplePlotList package (which seems to only work with 2D graphics) to the option of SymbolShape and a few others. The last possibility I found was the PointSubstitute3D package in ExtendedGraphics but this package would not even open. Needless to say none of these methods worked and I am still confused as to how I can go about doing this. The three functions used with the two parameters to form the 3D point plot are all quite complicated as they involve ratios of modified Bessel functions, so this makes the case even harder. I tried to extrapolate a list of each point making up the plot and use this in other commands but nothing has worked at all. So I guess my ultimate question is how can I change the shape of the points in a ParametricPointPlot3D??? Your response to this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -Nick Frascino
