MATLAB: Plotting a 3D arrow using vectarrow

3d arrowvectarrow

Hello,
I'm trying to plat a 3D arrow using the vectarrow function. I don't get any arrow messages but there is just now arrow in my plot. It would be great to get some tipps:)
My code is the following:
%50 J
[X1,Y1] = meshgrid(1:0.025:1.7,0.05:0.05:0.25);
p00_1 = 1.289;
p10_1 = -0.3693;
p01_1 = 0.7187;
p20_1 = 0.1467;
p11_1 = -1.188;
p02_1 = 1.188;
colormap(flipud(jet));
Z1 = p00_1 + p10_1.*X1 + p01_1.*Y1 + p20_1.*X1.^2 + p11_1.*X1.*Y1 + p02_1.*Y1.^2
s1 = surf(X1,Y1,Z1,'FaceColor','interp','EdgeColor', 'none')
colorbar;
hold on;
%Patch
Z2 = 0.9 + 0*X1 + 0*Y1
s2 = surf(X1,Y1,Z2,'FaceColor','none','FaceAlpha',1.0,'EdgeColor','none')
v = [1.7 0.05 0.9; 1.7 0.1689 0.9; 1 0.05 0.9; 1.3909 0.25 0.9 ; 1 0.25 0.9; 1 0.05 0.9];
f = [1 2 3 4 5 6];
p = patch('Faces',f,'Vertices',v,'FaceColor',[17 17 17]/30,'FaceAlpha',1.0,'EdgeColor','k','LineWidth',0.5);
zdiff = Z1 - Z2;
C = contours(X1, Y1, zdiff, [0 0]);
% Extract the x- and y-locations from the contour matrix C.
xL = C(1, 2:end);
yL = C(2, 2:end);
% Interpolate on the first surface to find z-locations for the intersection line.
zL = interp2(X1, Y1, Z1, xL, yL);
% Visualize the line.
line(xL, yL, zL, 'Color', 'k', 'LineWidth', 1.0);
% Label axes
xlabel( 'f_{u}/f_{y}');
ylabel([char(949) '_{u}']);
zlabel( 'F_{max}/F_{soll}');

function vectarrow(p0,p1)
%Arrowline 3-D vector plot.
% vectarrow(p0,p1) plots a line vector with arrow pointing from point p0
% to point p1. The function can plot both 2D and 3D vector with arrow
% depending on the dimension of the input

% 3D vector
p0 = [1.7 0.16 0.9]; % Coordinate of the first point p0
p1 = [1.7 0.16 0.0]; % Coordinate of the second point p1
vectarrow(p0,p1)

if max(size(p1))==3
x0 = p0(1);
y0 = p0(2);
z0 = p0(3);
x1 = p1(1);
y1 = p1(2);
z1 = p1(3);
plot3([x0;x1],[y0;y1],[z0;z1]); % Draw a line between p0 and p1

p = p1-p0;
alpha = 0.1; % Size of arrow head relative to the length of the vector

beta = 0.1; % Width of the base of the arrow head relative to the length

hu = [x1-alpha*(p(1)+beta*(p(2)+eps)); x1; x1-alpha*(p(1)-beta*(p(2)+eps))];
hv = [y1-alpha*(p(2)-beta*(p(1)+eps)); y1; y1-alpha*(p(2)+beta*(p(1)+eps))];
hw = [z1-alpha*p(3);z1;z1-alpha*p(3)];
hold on
