I really don't have time to work on this, so if you want to give it a go, do so. BUT realize it could be very complicated. It took me forever to just get atoms and bonds right. The key method to do all this is public void renderIsosurface(Point3f[] vertices, short colix, short[] colixes, Vector3f[] normals, int[][] indices, BitSet bsFaces, int nVertices, int faceVertexMax, short[] polygonColixes, int nPolygons) { } That does all isosurfaces and all cartoon-like objects, so that takes care of a lot. Since it is working in VRML, copy that example. Let me know when you get stuck. And as you figure out how to do it, show us here what you are thinking. > > 2. we hae these exports only in the pop-up menu; they shoud be too in the > app top menu, File > Export.

Maybe Save in the Script Editor -- or if the Script Editor is open.
