Hi Robert,
something like that:
Needs["Graphics`SurfaceOfRevolution`"]
Table[SurfaceOfRevolution[u^2,{u,0,1},{t,0,alpha},
    PlotRange->{{-1,1},{-1,1},{0,1}}],{alpha,Pi/4,2Pi,Pi/4}]
Close he created cells, select the cell bracket and use the Cell |
Animate Selected Graphics
from the menu.
Regards
  Jens
