Hi Bob,

This is probably not the slickest way to do this but  generally I think it is 
one surface one object, so in a simple case of a peptide bound to a protein, I 
would select the peptide chain (right click in the viewer) and extract that 
selection to a new object and then you can generate two separate surfaces.

Hope this helps
Joel

Subject: [PyMOL] surfaces involving more than one object

PyMOL questions about surfaces:

Simple enough to create a surface for one object. What about for only a portion 
of the object? How to do each of these?
  -- closed surface ignoring a selected set of atoms
  -- open surface not ignoring any atoms, but also not displaying their part

Is the rule, "One surface, one object"? That is, all atoms involved in a 
surface must originate from a single object?

Bob
