i.e.,actually ParametricPlot3D[ {u Cos[t], u Sin[t], t}, {u,1,2}, {t,
0,Pi},

Thanks to you and David Park.
I meant {2,3} subdivision points and incorrectly put in the same
numbers for PlotPoints. Actually I wished to post
<<RealTime3D`
ParametricPlot3D[{u Cos[t],u Sin[t],t},{u,1,2},{t,0,2 Pi},PlotPoints-
>{3,4}]
which has 2 X 3 = 6 skew quadrilaterals with total all 8 straight
edges.
Right?
