In reply to Sagar Chawla. @Sagar - use the view(az,el) function to rotate the 3D axes.

I want to know how to change the x-axis to the z-axis. I mean the position. Like if there is a 3d animated graph then how to change position of the axis. X-axis in place of Z-Axis & Y- axis in place of Z-axis and Z in place of Y.

I would just like to thank you for your fantastic work. I was looking for ages for a SIMPLE way to do this!

Thank you Yair!
In order to analyze the deformation of a surface, I would like to monitor this surface (facade of a building) every 2 hours, for example. so I get every 2 hours a point cloud I have to compare with a reference 3d-surface. How can I represent the distance between the surface and the point cloud as a colored figure?
I couldnt find any method or function in matlab to do that.
do you Any idea to do this?
I would be grateful for a answer, help, ideas or suggestions.

In reply to Reza. Reza - try using the view function.

Hi Yair,
Great post. i tried to rotate the axes in a 3d graph in Matlab. but i couldn’t do that. i have two Point Cloud, which i need to calculate the distance between them. As result want to represent it in a Heatmap with a coded Colormap. My project have Orientation according to the global cartesian coordinate system (measured with Totalstation scanner). I monitor facade of a Building (detect Moving in x,z plane). I want to change the Orientation of my Point cloud along x, y and z to have a good front view of the Project (not distorted). how can i rotate the Axes suitable to my project? Thanks for your help.

In reply to Yaroslav.

Hi Yarasov/Yair,

Context: I am using R2015a to display a ternary three-dimensional plot, so I have a base equilateral triangle and a vertical axis on top of this.

My question: When copying the above code in Matlab, I get an error when using the “ZRuler” command.

Do you have an idea why it might not be working in my case?

Many thanks!

In reply to Frank Brown. @Frank -

set(0,'defaultAxesYAxisLocation','origin')

(you forgot the "Axes" part in 'defaultAxesYAxisLocation')
