Use the plot_points option. Type "parametric_plot3d?" for more details:
- ``plot_points`` - (default: "automatic", which is
75 for curves and [40,40] for surfaces) initial number of
sample
points in each parameter; an integer for a curve, and a pair of
integers for a surface.
Note that the documentation output by "plot3d?" doesn't even mention the
plot_points option, which is why you're confused.
