Check the documentation regarding the isosurface command and the options
SELECT and IGNORE. Some combination of those two will do exactly what you
want. If you use SASURFACE and you want the same scale as geosurface or dots
or spacefill, be sure to use SASURFACE 0.

Some reason not to just use spacefill? Or are you already using that within
a translucent surface?

I should probably remove the geosurface-dots motion business. It's not a
much-used shape, and I'm not sure it makes any real difference in rendering
speed.
