Use an Embed 1D () or Embed 2D () dataset to embed 1D data into 2D (as a line in 2D) and 2D data into 3D (as a 2D surface in 3D), respectively. You can use an Embed 2D dataset to plot 3D arrows for a 2D solution, for example. Add these datasets by right-clicking the Datasets node and choose them from the More Datasets and More 2D Datasets submenus.

From the Mapping mode list, choose Auto (the default) or Manual. For Auto, all higher-dimensional coordinates are set to 0. For Manual, you can define the mapping using the x', y', and (2D only) z' fields under Output space expressions. The default expressions, in 2D, are X, Y, and 0, respectively, which is the same as the Auto mapping; that is, the embedded surface is located in the xy-plane, at z = 0.

In this section you can see and edit the names of the space variables for the embedded geometry. Under Space variables, edit the default names emb1x, emb1y, and (2D only) emb1z in the x', y', and (2D only) z' fields if desired. You can use those variables when creating plots for the embedded data in the higher space dimension.
