I am trying to learn to make 3D plots and got stuck immediately on a simple example - see attached worksheet. Can someone help me get started? More generally, is there a better resource than the MC quicksheet, which I found to be minimally helpful?
Usually I have found the help pages of Mathcad in addition with the quicksheets very helpful and quite comprehensive. Maybe its a good idea to work through all the examples first and then try something on your own.
In the first plot you can uncheck Auto Scale for the z-axis and set an appropriate value for the minimum and maximum value of z to get the circular edge you want to see.
You may find it more useful to create a vector function and use CreateMesh() for more flexibility and less need to change parameters like the grid size in the format menu.
The attached file should help.
