Put existing 3D figures on subplot

I have a couple figures already existing in my program but want to add them together to a subplot. e.g., put fig 1 and fig 5 on a subplot. I found some code and modified it slightly:

%% Original 3D Plot
[X,Y,Z] = peaks;
plot = surf(X,Y,Z);
%% Copy plot to subplots
f = figure;
s1 = subplot(1,3,1);
s2 = subplot(1,3,2);
s3 = subplot(1,3,3);
copyobj(plot,s1);
copyobj(plot,s2);
copyobj(plot,s3);
%% Set different viewing angle for each subplot
view(s1,0,90); title(s1,'view(0,90)');
view(s2,90,0); title(s2,'view(90,0)');
view(s3,0,0); title(s3,'view(0,0)');

My problem is it loses the third dim and plots everything 2D.

view(ax1,3); title(ax1,'view(0,90)');

Thanks! worked great.

Hi everyone

You can try this code to create single figure having subplots. Here single plot is in subplot becouse it does not saved figure 1. First save the created plot then comment "savefig".

clc;
close all;
clear;
%%
z1=peaks;
z2=z1+randn(size(z1))/5;
figure(1)
surf(z1) %creating first figure 

savefig('PeaksFile1.fig') % save the figure once then comment it

%%%%
figure(2)
surf(z2,'FaceColor','r') %creating second figure

savefig('PeaksFile2.fig')% save the figure once then comment it

%% Loading saved above figure 
f1=hgload('PeaksFile1.fig');
f2=hgload('PeaksFile2.fig');

%% creating subplot
figure(3)
h(1)=subplot(1,2,1);
view(3)
grid on
h(2)=subplot(1,2,2);
view(3)
grid on
%%
copyobj(allchild(get(f1,'CurrentAxes')),h(1));
copyobj(allchild(get(f2,'CurrentAxes')),h(2));
