    Is there a 3-d analogue of the function, ImplicitPlot?  For example,
suppose one wished to plot the surface,  (x^2/1 + y^2/2  - z^2/3 ==1). 
If one uses Plot3D or SphericalPlot3D, one obtains only a portion of
the surface because complex numbers appear in the evaluations.  And one
can easily imagine more complicated examples.
   
   Presumably a function, ImplicitPlot3D would take care of this kind of
situation?
