HC, There was a similar question on MathGroup just two weeks ago. http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2005/Jun/msg00496.html One method is to multiply your function f[x,y] by a Boole function defining the triangular region. This gives a somewhat jagged boundary to the boundary region. To make it reasonably smooth you have to go to a large number of PlotPoints, which also generally forces you to get rid of the 'mesh'. The methods I presented in the link above uses two different methods to give a smooth boundary region with a normal number of PlotPoints. One method uses variable substitution to turn a variable domain iterator into a fixed domain interator and then uses ParametricPlot3D to plot the function. The second method uses a grid of polygons that fits the boundary and then raises the grid to a 3D surface. Both of these methods use the DrawGraphics Mathematica package at my web site below.

Thanks alot. HC
