Question: 3-d plotting of 2-d plots

I am trying to put a number of related 2-d plots into a 3-d frame so I can see them stacked up in the third dimension (which follows a parameter) and rotate things around.

The way I once did this successfully was to create the 2-d plots and then use plottools:-transform to move the individual plots in the third dimension, like so:

plt:=plot(something);

tr:=plottools:-transform((x,y) -> [x,2,y]); # the "2" gets changed for the other plots (not shown here).

plots:-display(tr(plt));

The only effect I can get is that the GUI gets confused and I have to close and reload the sheet to get it back again. I have a (complicated) sheet where this actually works, but I am not able to make it work even in the small example I am posting below.

Any hint of where I am going off trail is appreciated. Incidentally, this problem is what led to the corrupted sheet I had maybe a week ago.

Thanks,

Mac Dude.
