How to shift origin (0,0,0) to an arbitrary point (x,y,z) in the plot of a 3d image?

This may be a stupid question but being a newbie to Matlab I am facing a lot of problems.

I have a plot of a 3d face:

I used trisurf to display this image. The databse I am using is gavabdb.

As we can see in this image, the origin location is the default location in matlab. I need to shift the origin to an an arbitrary point(say any set of x,y,z values obtained from the set of x,y,z vectors i already have).

I went through the 'set' command but I cant find any method of shifting the origin. Some hints on how to shift the origin?

I am having the same problem - did you manage to work this out?

Just type for z replacement:

z = z + 120;
