Hello there,
I'm a complete newbee to origin and bevor I start digging into the software, I will ask if it is possible to create a 5-dimensions diagram?
The first 3 dimensions (1,2,3):
XYZ-Axis as normal, represents the points in the "room". A simple vector/points that creates a mesh.
4th dimension:
The Mesh that we see should be colored. But the color has to indicates other informations. For Example the temperature.
5th dimension:
If i could put numbers oder points/cubs in different sizes in the mesh, that could indicate for example the costs.
I attached a file with an example of a diagram that I prepared in paint. There we can see the mesh and additional information on the mesh with the points and the colors/size of the points.
This is just an example, it doesn't have to look exactliy like this, but i hope you get the idea, what the 5d diagram should look like.
Which possibilities are there in Origin/Origin Pro to create such a diagram?
Thx

Hey, thank you for the quick answer.
I still have some questions.
I first started to train with a 2D diagram to get into origin. Great Software - great Forum.
First question:
Do I really need the 3d Smoother ? I realy want to see exactley the how the mesh looks like. I dont want to flatten the values. Or do I understand the purpose of the 3D Smoother App wrong ?
Second Question:
I don't know why, I can't eneable the symbols, because i don't have a tab in the "plot details" window. The symbols works not with every 3D Diagramm, am I right ?
Thanks |

Hello,
Q1: You are trying to map discrete points to a continuous space so you need some algorithms to generate the mesh. So yes, you need the 3D smoother to generate a mesh.
I don't know what you mean by: quote:
I realy want to see exactley the how the mesh looks like.
I.e. what is the issue with the mesh that you generated?
Q2: Not all 3D graphs have symbols. You can see from my example I'm using 3D Scatter.
Best,
Chao |

There are some problems, an now that I worked a little bit with origin, i think i found the best visual way to present the results.
1. The problem is that, every diagram with symbols represents a false size of the points. The size of the bubbles has randomly sizes. I can do a work-around, but i still wonder why.
My workaround is: (costs/1000)^3. This numbers can be shown visualy very well.
2. The second problem is, that the graph I made with SmoothenApp, there I can not change the colormap of the graph. If i do so, the colormap is showing only 1 color. Grey.
I changed the scale to the right values, but it seems that the new colormap isn't aplying properly.
No matter what I choose, ony the color of the scale is changing. but not the graph.
My ideal graph is a merge of this two graphs:
Now the probelm is, that I can not merge this two graphs. (3D-Surface and 3D Scatter):
OpenGl based graphs can not be merged ?
I tried as suggested ""Graph: Add Graphs to Layout" , but I don't find this entry.
I also tried to use Layer contents and to add a new layer to the graph. But nothing happens.
What am I dooing wrong, what do I miss there ? there must be a way to show all the information in one diagram with origin.
Thank you |

Hello,
Can you provide your project file so I can take a look?
Best,

Hello,
1. There is a symbol size scaling formula you can apply or set the Scaling Factor to 0.01 without changing the formula:
2. It seems you don't really want a mesh, just a 3D color mapped surface. In that case, you don't need to use the 3D smoother.
You can just add the scatter points to the surface plot via Plot Setup.
See:
3. You cannot merge 3D graphs due to the 3D rendering tech. But you can put multiple 3D graphs into one layout window

Hey,
this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
Yes , i don't need a mesh. I did not know how to explain the "colored mapped surface" with one word.
And also tahnk you for the link to put multiple 3D graphs into one layout window.
Thx
