Hi Dan, I think in PyMOL you can only do this in two steps and compose the two images, e.g. with ImageMagick.
# white background bg white # step 1 as surface set ray_trace_mode, 2 png surface.png, ray=1 # step 2 hide surface show cartoon set cartoon_cylindrical_helices set ray_trace_mode, 1 png cartoon.png, ray=1 # If you have ImageMagick installed system composite surface.png cartoon.png combined.png load combined.png Cheers, Thomas > On Jun 19, 2020, at 4:04 AM, Daniel P Farrell <da...@uw.edu> wrote: > > Hello, > I'm working with some cryo-EM density and I'm trying to get my isosurface or > volume (whichever's easier) to display transparent except for the curves and > turns of the density. > similar to this (done in chimeraX) https://imgur.com/a/lZuG8gD > > Does anyone know if this is possible? > > thanks > ~Dan > _______________________________________________ > PyMOL-users mailing list > Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Unsubscribe: > https://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol/lists/pymol-users/unsubscribe -- Thomas Holder PyMOL Principal Developer Schrödinger, Inc. _______________________________________________ PyMOL-users mailing list Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pymol/lists/pymol-users/unsubscribe
