Hi Bronwyn, Don't know about MacPymol, but with regards to the second issue, a C-alpha trace, you can do it with:
set cartoon_trace,1 show cartoon The surface will be tougher, you could play with setting the vanderwaals radius: show surface alter (all),vdw=4 rebuild And you can repeat the last two commands for different values for the vdwr to suit your needs. You could also play with setting the radius for the solvent probe to determine the surface. Hope it helps, Tsjerk On 8/17/05, Bronwyn Carlisle <bronwyn.carli...@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> wrote: > Hi, A couple of things: > > a) I've just installed the latest MacPymol (after having a major > crash and having to re-install EVERYTHING), and my middle mouse > button doesn't seem to work.
