Plot 2D flux maps in 3D

How do I portray my 2D contourf plots in 3D?

I have three simple rectangular surfaces that I am plotting contourf maps of, but I want to connect their edges and portray in 3D (they are not in plane, sort of like a piece of paper folded at 90 degrees, or any degree for that matter).

So I have for example:

Panel 1

[ 23 54 ]

[34 65]

Panel 2

[76 34]

[34 65]

Actual widths and angles between panels are known. They are not perfect squares.

Eventually I want to connect multiple V-shaped panels, in a circular shape sort of like a car air filter.

Thanks!

% Define the data for the panels
panel1 = [23, 54, 0; 34, 65, 0];   % Replace with your data for panel 1
panel2 = [76, 34, 0; 34, 65, 0];   % Replace with your data for panel 2
% Define other panels as needed

% Define the vertices and faces for the patches
vertices = [panel1; panel2];   % Combine the vertices of the panels
faces = [1, 2, 4, 3];          % Define the face indices based on the vertex order

% Assign colors to the vertices
colors = [panel1(:, 1); panel2(:, 1)];   % Replace with your desired color values

% Plot the 3D surface
figure;
patch('Vertices', vertices, 'Faces', faces, 'FaceVertexCData', colors, 'FaceColor', 'interp', 'EdgeColor', 'none');
colorbar;   % Add a colorbar if needed

% Customize the plot as needed
xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
zlabel('Z');
view(3);    % Set the view perspective

% Add other customizations as needed
