Hi Jason , Thanks to your example I figured it out and it seems like there is small problem with the status message text even when it fails.
So if I had a created object obj01 This works: set cartoon_cylindrical_helices , 1, obj01 This does not work: set cartoon_cylindrical_helices , 1 , (obj01) In both cases pymol echoes a "cartoon_cylindrical_helices set for 222 atoms in object "obj01" " in the status text. The only difference is the parentheses around the object. I guess the correct syntax is to not have the parentheses around the object name.
