Is it possible to plot Surfaces at specified coordinates?

Is it possible to plot a 3D plot of several surfaces, like a scatter plot but instead of points, they are surfaces? I have the coordinates for the surfaces and the surfaces themselves in a (:,2) cell array, is there anyway to plot each surfaces at the respective coordinates in a 3D space?
Each of the surfaces are closed geometric shapes, Ellipsoids to be exact.

What do you mean by coordinates for the surfaces? Do you mean the coordinates of the centre point of each ellipsoid?
Why do you think it's not possible to plot several surfaces on the same graph?
Yes, that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion. Im asking because whenever I set up the surfaces, they just stack ontop of each other, and its not that I dont think its possible, I just dont know how to do it, thus why im asking

If in addition to the vertices sampled from the surfaces you also have the connectivity information among the vertices, you can visualize surfaces as meshes using either the 'patch' or 'trimesh' functions.
