Thanks.

1) While attempting  to rotate with mouse Range limited plots Shown
below obtained without ReallTime3D,

 pos=ParametricPlot3D[ {Cosh[th] Cos[th+al], th, Cosh[th]Sin[th+al]},
 {th,-1.2, 1.2 }, {al,0, 2 Pi} ,PlotRange-> { { -2,2},{2,0},{0,2} } ];
 neg=ParametricPlot3D[ {Cosh[th] Cos[th+al], th, -Cosh[th]Sin[th+al]},
 {th,-1.2, 1.2 }, {al,0, 2 Pi} ,PlotRange-> { { -2,2},{2,0},{0,2} } ] ;
Show[pos,neg] ;

.. the PlotRange option cannot be implementable in <<ReallTime3D' as it
is. The entire surface of revolution comes in, without the desired
truncation. Is there a way to work around it?

2) Yes,the surface is same. The question is, How to hide the al
parameterized parallels , retaining only th lines in pos and neg ?
