My ignorance is to blame for providing incomplete information. The shape I am trying to model is here" http://www.secrets-of-the-aether.com/images/stories/idealtcshape-damped_wave.jpg This shape comes from: r[t_] = Sin[t + 1]/t PolarPlot[r[t], {t, 0, \[Pi]}] By trial and error, I got the graph about where it should be: r[t_] = Sin[t + 1]/t^2; x[t_] = r[t] Cos[t]; y[t_] = r[t] Sin[t]; RevolutionPlot3D[{x[t + 1], y[t - \[Pi]]}, {t, 0, 1}, RevolutionAxis -> x] I tried the Show function to merge the above graph with the cardioid graph, but got error messages. How do I merge the SphericalPlot3D image with the RevolutionPlot3D image? Thanks, Dave
