I think this has something to do with the axis rotation.
Notice that it does *exactly* what you want if you set
the AZ keyword on the Surface command to 0. But the
problem gets worse as you increase the rotation about
the Z axis (e.g, AX=30, AZ=45, AZ=70). I suspect this
has to do with the 2.5D nature of direct graphics.
I'll bet it would work correctly if you put this into
object graphics. :-)

Cheers,

David
