plot extra individual point on a 3D parametric plot

[alexiscooooool]

I have already created a 3D parametric mesh of a tea pot using a data set. Is it possible after the data set has been graphed to plot extra single points specified by a user on the already unwrapped teapot graph?

Yep!

Just add another plot and go for it.

ok i added an extra plot and plotted the extra point but now when i run my VI the point and the dataset do not show up at the same time, it flashes between the single point and the plotted dataset

does anybody have any possible explanations or solutions for my problemo?

post an image of your code. It sounds like you are posting two sets of data in the same plot.

I attached a picture of my code, and yes you're right i do believe im trying to graph two sets of data on the same graph, I thought that may be how you would be able to graph individual points on the same plot as my initially graphed data.

Is there a way of doing that so both the individual points and the large dataset both show up at the same time?

HI Alex,

The series of posting from me that you find in this thread illustrate using multiple plots of various styles on the same 3d graph. You can either use the method off adding plots as you need them or you can explicitly ID which plot you are updating (look inside the sub-VI's in your example).

This preview show the results of line plot over-laying parametric surface.
