hmm. I guess I didn't realize that, but it makes sense, and explains why my request is not trivial. :-( >Sounds like we need something like: > >hbonds on >set hbonds backbone >color hbonds OFF >select ..... >color hbonds CPK > >This would just require another "color" called "OFF" that indicates >something is to be invisible. > >Would that work for you, Tim?

I want to show the protein in wireframe with side chain hbonds. but I also want to show the DNA in backbone with backbone hbonds - this is a popular way to look at DNA 'overall'. does that make sense? regards, tim -- Timothy Driscoll molvisions - see, grasp, learn. <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:raleigh "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
