Hi Per,

set ray_volume, 1

We disabled this feature because it wasn't of high enough quality to
be used. Once we fix this, we'll change PyMOL to automatically ray
trace the volumes. Until then, you can try the trick I noted above.

If you feel like sharing I'd love to see what you came up with.

Cheers,

-- Jason
