Could you help me please.

[x,y,z] = sphere ;
surf(x,y,z) ;
Generates the sphere with origin as center. If you want the center of sphere at [x1,y1,z1], (your desired center, which will be at half the length of your object) just add this point to [x,y,z].
[x,y,z] = sphere ;
xnew = x+x1 ; ynew = y+y1; znew = z+z1 ; % shift the origin to [x1,y1,z1]
surf(xnew,ynew,znew)
