Hi,

your code doesn't work because you try to manipulate the variables u and v,
which have a fixed range inside the ParametricPlot3D function. I believe yo=
u
wanted to manipulate the maxima value of u and v, what is accomplished by
the following code:

umin := 0
vmin := 0

xxx := Cos[u + v]/(Sqrt[2] + Cos[v - u])
yyy := Sin[u + v]/(Sqrt[2] + Cos[v - u])
zzz := Sin[v - u]/(Sqrt[2] + Cos[v - u])

Manipulate[
 ParametricPlot3D[{xxx, yyy, zzz}, {u, umin, umax}, {v, vmin, vmax},
  PlotRange -> All], {{umax, 1, "u Label"}, 0, \[Pi],
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{vmax, 1, "v Label"}, 0, 2 \[Pi],
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}]

Regards,

Ricardo Samad
