Thanks that is good except I need the ball positioned in the center of
the dip.
Here is my 3-D Cartesian coordinate system

Now I need to try to put that ball in the center of the saddle dip.

                  __
                 (  )
                  \/  _
              / \`---' \
             /_.-\_.--._\

Can you draw this saddle such that the dip is about where -1 and -2 and
-3 is on the x-axis
and where the ball is positioned in the center of the dip of about +1
and +2 and +3 of the x-axis
