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
