Hello,
Is it possible to make such kind of 3D plots in Mathcad Prime?
Those plots from below are only some examples to give you an idea of what I mean, but if you have other examples then they are welcome.

You'll have to be more specific about what you mean by "such kind"!
Of course, even in Prime you can somehow represent all these surfaces in the 3D plot, but the results will not look nearly as good as in the examples you posted.
Prime's 2D plot is already terribly simplistic and primitive, and lacks the simplest features that one would think would be standard in such a program. The "after shot" thir party tool "chart component" doesn't make up for this either due to its dilettante implementation.
And if you thought it couldn't get any worse, Prime 3D plot will prove you wrong. What PTC has produced here is really no longer to be taken seriously.
Conclusion: If you want to create even reasonably good 3D plots, you should use another program. Nonetheless - for a quick, rough sketch without special requirements, the possibilities available in Prime may be sufficient.
If Primes abilities are all you need, then you would have to explain more precisely what you mean by "such kind". Do you mean that you generally don't know how to create 3D plots in Prime, or you don't understand the mathematics, how to parameterize surfaces of rotation for plotting, or did you just want to know how to realize partial transparency, contour lines, shading, lighting, colormaps, etc. in Prime? Answer to the last question is "not at all, Prime can't do all that".
Just to give an example, here are some doughnuts.
The axis have to be scaled manually to achieve equal scales 😞
You don't must use the CreateMesh() function, but I prefer using it as it gives more and clearer control about the mesh size and the parameter range. More specifically, in Prime, unlike the old real Mathcad, it is the only way to specify grid size and parameter intervals.
