Hi Jim - Here's a patch for Open Source PyMOL (rev4153) that adds the "collada_background_box" setting (default=0). If you're using Open Source PyMOL and are up to applying it and rebuilding, feel free to use it. Otherwise, I already sent it to Thomas, so hopefully it will be incorporated into SVN and Incentive PyMOL soon.

I can confirm that this happens for me, too. I guess maybe Meshlab requires the camera? As a workaround, you can go back to the previous version with collada_geometry_mode=1 and simply delete the box. You can do this within Meshlab by using the "Select Connected Components in a region" tool to select a corner the box, then clicking the "Delete the current set of selected faces and all the vertices surrounded by that faces" button (see attached screenshot). Then, if you zoom in (the box is 100x larger than the largest dimension of the scene), your scene will be there. I'm working on a patch right now to exclude the bounding background box from default COLLADA output and make it optional via a new `collada_background_box` setting. Sorry for the confusion, hope this clears it up. Cheers, Jared -- Jared Sampson Columbia University
