Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):8.0SR6
Operating System:winxp

Please, help I do not know how to convert matrices and plot my data in 3D. I have (simplified version of my data):

table 1 (Z1) containing X1,Y1; X2,Y2; X3,Y3.
table 2 (Z2) containing X4,Y4; X5,Y5; X6,Y6.
table 3 (Z3) containing X7,Y7; X8,Y8; X9,Y9.
so in Z axis there will be only 3 points.

I would like to plot simple X,Y,Z graph in 3D. Please guide me through. I know I should convert the worksheet to matrix

Thanks you in advance.

Since multiple matrices may not display correctly I would suggest you use a 3D XYZ Scatter plot. For that you only need to add a Z column after each X,Y pair and fill it with the correct Z value.
Select all your Z columns and choose Plot : 3D XYZ : Scatter.

Thank you, I am trying that, however, 3D XYZ scatter graph does not allow to exchange scatter points with lines, does it? I am not able to change points to lines, after clicking OK, it all goes back to points...
