Lari, the way you've described is a nice workaround for images and presentations, which I had in mind, too. But it is not applicable while I am working with PyMOL online and want to make my CGO's transparent to see what is in them (including ability to rotate and zomm in/out the scene (which is not very doable in static pictures ;-)). I'm familiar with scripting in PyMOL. Probably I can change any transparency variable while creating my triangles, which result in my CGO's? Isn't there a implemented command in PyMOL, which does what I need?

Hi, I've done this by rendering two images (actually 4 to get stereo). One without the CGOs and one with them. Then I overlaid them with photoshop and changed the trasnparency of the CGO containing layer. I just used triangles and it looked rather nice. ~Lari~ _______________________________________ Lari Lehtiö University of Helsinki Institute of Biotechnology Macromolecular X-ray crystallography P.O.Box 65 00014 HY Finland http://www.biocenter.helsinki.fi/~lehtio/ _______________________________________ Quoting tanri...@stud.uni-frankfurt.de: # Hi everybody, # # i've just created many CGOs, which show up solid surfaces like spheres and # ellipsoids.
