Why isn't this surface colored or even displayed as a surface? Is RegionPlot3D the wrong function to use? I'm just beginning to experiment with plotting sets of points.
This is very curious too:
RegionPlot3D[ Abs[x - y] < 1 && y > 0, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {z, -5, 5}, PlotPoints -> 6, AxesLabel -> Automatic]
