When teaching multivariable calculus, I often have to draw a solid bounded by a number of surfaces.

How, for example, would I use TikZ (or one of the TikZ packages) to draw the solid bounded by by the cylinder x2+y2=4 and the planes defined by z=0 and x+z=3 ?

I'd actually use PSTricks for this; tikz has some limitations when it comes to 3D stuff. Have a look at page 124 of the pst-solides3d documentation – cmhughes Dec 18 '12 at 2:32
