Very nice, Bob. And counterintuitive. Still, it would be interesting to know why the original poster thought the detail of his curves or surfaces was not good enough to fit properly and whether plotting certain points would actually solve his problem.

You can use options such as MaxRecursion and PlotPoints to refine a plot. It is possible to have the second iterator depend on the value of the first iterator. (Version 6+) RegionFunction can be used to tailor the boundary of a plotted region. It's possible to piece together a larger region from subregions. I don't think it is possible to specify that special points be hit, but I might learn otherwise. If members of this group saw a more specific example I think it is likely there would be some solution. David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: Michael Young [mailto:michaelcharlesyoung at earthlink.net] Hello, I am modeling mechanical components in Mathematica and there are places, (particularly where these must fit together), where the geometry of a piece must change. Can I, (or how would I), instruct Mathematica's ParametricPlot and ParametricPlot3D symbols to include specific values within the parameter set, (to be located at the geometric boundaries)? (e.g.) If X is a parameter being swept between -1 and 1, how would i instruct Mathematica to include the fixed values 0.522 and 0.824? Further, if the precise location of a boundary is only known after parameter X is given; is there a way (based on that information) to instruct ParametricPlot3D to include a specific value within the range of the second parameter, Y?
