How to flip a scatter3 plot?

Hi, I'm unsuccessfully trying to flip a scatter3 plot so that the XY plane is on top and Z axis goes downward. Below a rough drawing of what I get vs what I want

setting ZDir property to "reverse" doesn't do the job as the Z axis flips direction, but the X and Y axis remain on the bottom

I am not quite certain what you want.

Perhaps this —

xyz = rand(50,3)

xyz = 50×3

0.7188 0.5891 0.9015 0.1405 0.1323 0.5674 0.8789 0.4195 0.3218 0.3677 0.3107 0.4016 0.4559 0.6679 0.4002 0.0467 0.2491 0.0453 0.4620 0.8904 0.7014 0.7939 0.9364 0.3843 0.5425 0.9053 0.0945 0.7427 0.2834 0.0700
