Plot two figures simultaneously

I would like to know how to generate this two graphs from this code at the same time:

close all
clear all
clc

format long

%% Data Layup
Layup = [90 0 0 45 -45 0 0 -45 45 0 0 90];
Dimensions_Ply = [100 100 0.125]; % [mm]; x,y,z of individual ply
Total_Thickness = sum(Dimensions_Ply(3)*ones(length(Layup),1)); % Could change if the meterials are not the same
%
x_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(1);
y_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(2);
z_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(3);

%% 3D Laminate generator

for i = 1:length(Layup)
    if Layup(i) == 90
        C(i) = {'r'}; % 90º = red
    elseif Layup(i) == 0
        C(i) = {'g'}; % 0º = green
    elseif Layup(i) == 45
        C(i) = {'b'}; % 45º = blue
    elseif Layup(i) == -45
        C(i) = {'c'}; % -45º = cyan
    end

You can try something like this. There's some lag in between figure updates, but it's a start.

% Data Layup
Layup = [90 0 0 45 -45 0 0 -45 45 0 0 90];
Dimensions_Ply = [100 100 0.125]; % [mm]; x,y,z of individual ply
Total_Thickness = sum(Dimensions_Ply(3)*ones(length(Layup),1)); % Could change if the meterials are not the same

x_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(1);
y_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(2);
z_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(3);

% 3D Laminate generator
for i = 1:length(Layup)
    if Layup(i) == 90
        C(i) = {'r'}; % 90º = red
    elseif Layup(i) == 0
        C(i) = {'g'}; % 0º = green
    elseif Layup(i) == 45
        C(i) = {'b'}; % 45º = blue
    elseif Layup(i) == -45
        C(i) = {'c'}; % -45º = cyan
    end
end


hf1 = figure('Position',[110 206 560 420]);
title ('Isometric View')
hf2 = figure('Position',[690 206 560 420]);
title ('Front-side View')

for n = 1:length(Layup)
    coord = [...              % Creating plies coordinates depending on dimensions
        0    0    (n-1)*z_dimension;
        x_dimension  0    (n-1)*z_dimension;
        x_dimension  y_dimension  (n-1)*z_dimension;
        0    y_dimension  (n-1)*z_dimension;
        0    0    ((n-1)*z_dimension) + z_dimension;
        x_dimension  0    ((n-1)*z_dimension) + z_dimension;
        x_dimension  y_dimension  ((n-1)*z_dimension) + z_dimension;
        0    y_dimension  ((n-1)*z_dimension) + z_dimension;];
    idx = [4 8 5 1 4; 1 5 6 2 1; 2 6 7 3 2; 3 7 8 4 3; 5 8 7 6 5; 1 4 3 2 1]';
    
    figure(hf1)
    updatefig(coord,idx,n,C,1)
    
    figure(hf2)
    updatefig(coord,idx,n,C,2)
    
    %pause(0.002)
end

function updatefig(coord,idx,n,C,dispstyle)
xc = coord(:,1);
yc = coord(:,2);
zc = coord(:,3);

patch(xc(idx), yc(idx), zc(idx),C{n}); % 'facealpha', 0.1

set(gca, 'XDir','reverse') % mAINTAIN perspective
set(gca, 'YDir','reverse')

xlabel('x [mm]')
ylabel('y [mm]')
zlabel('z [mm]')

hold on

% Creating the color legend
colors = ['r';'g';'b';'c'];
nColors = size(colors,1);                             % make variable so can change easily
labels = {'90º';'0º';'45º';'-45º'};
hBLG = bar(nan(2,nColors));         % the bar object array for legend
for i = 1:nColors
    hBLG(i).FaceColor = colors(i,:);
end
legend(hBLG,labels,'location','northeast');

switch dispstyle
    case 1
        view(3);
    case 2
        view(90,0);
end

hold off

Thank you, that's what I needed.

my suggestion with subplots

close all

Dimensions_Ply = [100 100 0.125]; % [mm]; x,y,z of individual ply
Total_Thickness = sum(Dimensions_Ply(3)*ones(length(Layup),1)); % Could change if the meterials are not the same
%
x_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(1);
y_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(2);
z_dimension = Dimensions_Ply(3);
%% 3D Laminate generator
for i = 1:length(Layup)
    if Layup(i) == 90
        C(i) = {'r'}; % 90º = red
    elseif Layup(i) == 0
        C(i) = {'g'}; % 0º = green
    elseif Layup(i) == 45
        C(i) = {'b'}; % 45º = blue
    elseif Layup(i) == -45
        C(i) = {'c'}; % -45º = cyan
