Hi Michael, you need to reset the camera view.
def writeSurfaceValue(objname, wrlname='/tmp/tmp.wrl', ptsname='/tmp/tmp.pts', pdbname='/tmp/tmp.pdb'): cmd.hide('everything') cmd.show('surface',objname) view = cmd.get_view() cmd.set_view([1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -50.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 40.0, 100.0, -20.0]) cmd.save(wrlname) points = getIndexedFaceSet(wrlname) f = file(ptsname,'w') f.writelines(points) f.close() pts2pdb(ptsname,pdbname) cmd.set_view(view) Cheers, Thomas Michael Lerner wrote, On 07/15/12 04:05: > I finally got back to this, and I'm still having some trouble.
