Hugues, Here's a tricky way to do it:
Download and run "findSurfacerResidues" (http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/FindSurfaceResidues) and run it on your protein. The resultant selection contains surface residues. Next, just set the "flag" on all those that are not returned and show that as surface. Example: fetch 1hpv run findSurfaceResidues.py # this function returns a selection called "EXPOSED_XYZ" where XYZ is some random integer findSurfaceResidues (1phv), 0.5 flag ignore, not exposed_RESULT as surface, 1hpv Let me know if that works. By the way, you might need to "rebuild" after setting the flag.
