What is the relationship between the isosurface of a set of atoms and
that of a subset of the atoms? I kind of expected that the latter be a
subset of the former one, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Indeed, by selecting only some atoms, in fact none of the triangles I
get appear in the isosurface of the full molecule. For comparing two
triangles I compare the vertex positions and values, sorted in a
canonical order, so that two triangles with permuted vertices are
still considered equal.

What I need is to get the potential-mapped sasurface partitioned by
groups of atoms. If I select one group of atoms at a time and compute
their sasurface, will that correctly cover the whole molecule? Is
there any guarantee that 1) the group sasurfaces do not overlap (as
long as the groups constitute a valid "partition" of the molecule,
i.e., they do not overlap and together they contain all atoms of the
molecule), and 2) considering them together will result in a surface
covering the full molecule, without any "cracks"?
