You need to create two separate objects, display the backbone in one and the side chain (including C-alpha) in the other. Then you can use the commands: set stick_radius, .5, backbone_object set stick_radius, .2, sidechain_object You can't just do: set stick_radius, .5, name n+ca+c+o set stick_radius, .2, ! name n+ca+c+o because both selections belong to the same object and the whole object is affected by the setting change.
