How to highlight particular points in a 3D surf plot?

I would like to highlight only important points that I want in a 3D surf plot. Please suggest a method to do it.
Thank You in advance!

[X,Y,Z] = peaks(25) ;
surf(X,Y,Z)
hold on
%%highlight points which are greater then 5
idx = Z>=3 ;
plot3(X(idx),Y(idx),Z(idx),'.r','markersize',10)
%%highlight points which are less then 5
idx = Z<=-3 ;
plot3(X(idx),Y(idx),Z(idx),'.b','markersize',10)

Thank you for the reply. I actually want to choose one single point to highlight. Can you explain me how to do it? Thank you
If you know the point's location, use plot straight away...if you know the value, use find to get the index and then plot.
