3-.D slices and isosurfaces

(OP)
Hello everybody, I´m working with a Finite Element software so I want to export the results to Matlab and use the 3-D visualization to see the stress in some slices of my geometry.
The exported data of this software are 2 matrices, one has the number of the nodes and its correspondent 3 coordinates:x,y,z. The other colum matrix contains the scalar data of the stress for each node.
The problem is that my geometry is a sphere on top of a plataform, so I don´t know how to get this ploting in Matlab.
If I try with meshgrid and linspace, I get the cube grid, and not my sphere, and also, would the griddata3  be a nice solution to plot my scalar stress data?
How can I get the sphere ploted with matlab commands?
Can anybody help me?
My next modue is horseshoe-shaped, so if I interpolate the values of stress I get the color plotting also in the hole...I´ve already tried with the surf command.Which is the process of ploting scalar data, when you have this kind of modules with air-gaps?
Thank you very much
