Hi,

you should always check the documentation first. A click on More  
Information in the Plot3D
doc would have shown you that there is a RegionFunction option:

Plot3D[x^2 - y^2, {x, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15},
  RegionFunction :> Function[{x, y, z}, x + y <= 12 && x <= 10 && y <=  
10]]

Cheers
Patrick
