Creating Intersecting Surface Plots

Hi,

I would like to plot two 3D surfaces (created with surf) in the same graph , so to visualize the intersection areas. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Sorry for such a newbie question. However, I've an additional comment on this issue. Would it be possible to have a different color scale for the 2 surfaces or to set some transparency in order to better distinguish them?

You can set the AlphaData property when you call surf() . See http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/surface_props.html

surf(FirstZ, 'AlphaData', 0.8*ones(size(FirstZ)))

to set it to all 0.8
