Hi Dirk,

The best way to go there is to create two objects. One of one part of the protein and one of the other, and show the surfaces of each of them.

Good luck,

Tsjerk

Dear PyMol users,

I'm currently trying to display individual surfaces around different selections of a molecule to show how they contact each other. However, either I get only the last surface displayed or a joined surface using the command examples below:

this one gives only the surface of residue 440

show surface, (  resid 431 )
flag ignore, (  not resid 431  )
show surface, (  resid 440 )
flag ignore, (  not resid 440  )
rebuild

whereas this one gives the joint surface of residues 431 and 440

show surface, ( resid 431 or resid 440 )
flag ignore, (  not ( resid 431 or resid 440 )  )
rebuild

How can I display the individual surfaces separately?

Alternatively, is there a command to display atoms in a CPK representation?

Best regards,

Dirk.
