I don't know exactly what you want. If you want to show the area, where
the constraints are true, you can use RegionPlot:
RegionPlot[
x + y <= 12 && x <= 10 && y <= 10, {x, -10, 15}, {y, -10, 15}]
If you want to restrict your Plot3D on area of the constraints only, you
may use RegionFunction, e.g.
Plot3D[Sin[x]^2 y, {x, 0, 5 \[Pi]}, {y, 0, 30},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, x <= 12 && x <= 10 && y <= 10]]
