Feb 6, 2012 at 21:12 comment added Mr.Wizard @BeauGeste you want ParametricPlot3D to see the list of functions, not the Table object. You can also use ParametricPlot3D[#, . . .] & Table[ . . . ] which I prefer. See mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/1396/121
Feb 6, 2012 at 21:11 comment added Heike @BeauGeste No, it's not required, but it makes the function evaluate faster and the graphs are plotted in different colours. This has to do with the fact that ParametricPlot3D (as well as all other members of the Plot family) has attribute HoldAll which means that without Evaluate the Table expression would be reevaluated for every value of x. With Evaluate the Table is expanded into an explicit list before it is used by ParametricPlot3D making the evaluation much faster.
Feb 6, 2012 at 21:02 comment added BeauGeste I'm curious to the reason Evaluate is there. Is it required?
