Plot3D will only plot one surface over a rectangular region, it store only matrix of heights. Four solutions: 1) Plot separately, DisplayFunction\[Rule]Identity turns of the display. g1 = Plot3D[x + y, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, DisplayFunction -> Identity]; g2 = Plot3D[x^2 + y^2, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, DisplayFunction -> Identity]; Show them together, DisplayFunction\[Rule]$DisplayFunction turns the display back on] Show[g1, g2, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction] 2) Use Block to temporarity disable display: Show[Block[{$DisplayFunction = Identity}, {Plot3D[x + y, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}], Plot3D[x^2 + y^2, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}]}]] 3) Load a standard package << "Graphics`Graphics`" Now we can use DisplayTogether[Plot3D[x + y, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}], Plot3D[x^2 + y^2, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}]] 4) use ParametricPlot3D and adjust shape of bounding box. ParametricPlot3D[{{x, y, x + y}, {x, y, x^2 + y^2}}, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 0.4}] -- Allan --------------------- Allan Hayes Mathematica Training and Consulting Leicester UK www.haystack.demon.co.uk hay at haystack.demon.co.uk Voice: +44 (0)116 271 4198 Fax: +44 (0)870 164 0565 "Rex_chaos" <rex_chaos at 21cn.com> wrote in message news:aadbmd$qrd$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Hello all, > I want to plot 2 3D graph in a same figure.
