Origin Version: 7.5 SR2
Operating System: WinXP Pro

I want to display the shape of a vessel and trajectories
of different particles traversing through the vessel.

Plotting the trajectories via "plot/3D XYZ/3D scatter" and
adding the shape of the vessel via "layer contents" works
fine.

But when I try to add an additional trajectory (defined in
a worksheet with x,y and z-axis) into the existing plot
the new trajectory appears as an 3d bar plot and I have no
possibility to change the type of the plot to an 3d line
plot (the only possibilites are 3D bar, 3D wall and 3D ribbon).

Is there any possibility to change the type to a real 3D line
plot?

thanks for any help

Hi epp,

When you add your second trajectory plot (I'm assuming that you are doing this via the Layer dialog box), try moving just the "z" dataset in to the Layer Contents.

Hi Mike,
thanks for the promt answer.

I have tried the following steps:

1) Open the existing Origin object file containing my 3D plot
2) Create a new woksheet "Data1"
3) Create a new column "c" in this worksheet (context menu)
4) Set the plot designation for the new column to "Z"
(column properties dialog)
5) Add some numbers into the three columns
6) Go to the existing plot
7) Add "data1_c" to the plot using "layer contents"

The result is an 3d bar as described yesterday. Under "plot
details" all previously existing trajectories appear in the
following form: "trace: A(X),B(Y),C(Z)", the new data set
looks like this: "Data1: B(X),C(Y)".

Thanks for any help

Hi epp,

It would seem that you are doing what you should, but obviously, it isn't working for you. You should contact OriginLab's tech support directly (tech@originlab.com). Please send them an OGG or OPJ file with your graph and point to this forum post in your e-mail. This will be more easily sorted out if they can see your problem directly.

Thank you.
