Plot Multiple 3D Graphs that overlap

Hello,

I can graph multiple 3D graphs by adding them together but I can not get them to overlap the way I want. I would like to be able to flip the axis. As an example, I would like to be able to graph the height of the cylindrical_plot3d along the x or y axes in addition to the z axes. Same for the 3d parabola.

var('y,z')
theta,y=var('theta,y')#start was z
cylindrical_plot3d(10,(theta,0,2*pi),(y,-2,2)) + plot3d(x^2, (-1,1),(-1,1))

Thanks in advance!

Try sage: parametric_plot3d?

Hello,

I figured out how to graph two graphs in 3D that overlap. The key is "implicit_plot3d." I provide an example. Since x^2 is missing in the equation (y^2 + z^2), the cylinder can be viewed down the x axis. If y^2 is missing (x^2 + z^2), the cylinder will be viewed down the y axis. If z^2 is missing, ect.

var ('x y z')


implicit_plot3d(y^2+z^2==36, (x,-6,6), (y,-6,6), (z,-6, 6), color="blue", figsize=4, opacity=.3, axes="true" ) + plot3d(x^2 + y^2, (-1,1),(-2.3,2.3))
