Pymol by default doesn’t draw the surface for heteroatoms. To enable it:
set surface_mode, 1

Subject: [PyMOL] pymol won't show surface for one residue


Hi,



I am using version 3.1.3.1. on Windows. I have a structure where one of the 
cysteines is oxidised and modelled as CSD. When I show surface for the 
molecule, there is no surface for CSD. Also when I select only CSD and show 
surface, still nothing happens. Anyone can help what to do?

Thank,

Andrea
