One different approach that might work is to put both surfaces in
one plot but make one of them partially transparent. Depending on
the geometry of your problem, that can prevent one surface from
interfering with your view of the other.
They would also be larger using that approach, which can make a
difference.

Yes, I know this is possible (since if you draw a line profile on an
image a similar linked display is created), but I don't know how to do
it. I would check the code for the line profile operation for hints.

Ahh, I see what you are trying to do (cool idea). I am reasonably
certain this could be accomplished, but don't have the faintest
idea how. :-(

Thanks Ken.
Using OVERPLOT puts two surfaces in one plot...which would probably be
the exact thing i would want to do in most cases. For this one case
though, i need to have two different plots in the same itool. I can
probably get by with just rotating one, then rotating the other
without too much fuss - it's for a live demo, though, so i thought
it'd be slick to have the two plots rotating at the same time when you
just use the mouse on one - going for style points here :)

You can use the OVERPLOT keyword to add a second ISURFACE to the
plot using the existing coordinate system. It is part of the same
plot and rotates, scales, etc. as a whole.
In fact, although the iTools have different names (IPLOT, ISURFACE,
ICONTOUR, etc.), it is really just one tool. We have an application
that creates a 3-D plot using ISURFACE, to which we add a 3-D
volume data set for isosurface rendering using IVOLUME, plus various
point and line objects using IPLOT.
