Re: [PyMOL] Collada export with instances?

2018-06-06 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
This is great, thanks! I created a dae file with some geometry instances before I saw this email, but I think you guys are well beyond that point already. And yes -- one sphere per color seems like the best that can be done simply with Collada 1.4, and it would already be a huge improvement in

Hi Gary and Thomas -  As Thomas mentioned, the sphere/cylinder/etc. primitives described in the COLLADA 1.5 spec as ("boundary representation") elements would be the best option for spheres and basically all other PyMOL representations except for molecular surfaces.  Unfortunately COLLADA 1.5

Hi Gary, Do you know an application which can actually read COLLADA files with sphere primitives? We've faced the problem that most tools only handle COLLADA 1.4, so if PyMOL would use COLLADA 1.5 features, the programs we know wouldn't read the exported files. See

[PyMOL] PyMOL without OpenGL (OS X)?

2018-06-06 Thread David Mathog
As reported here: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/06/the-end-of-opengl-support-other-updates-apple-didnt-share-at-the-keynote/ Apple has declared that they are dropping support for OpenGL from OS X. How will that affect PyMOL on OS X? Does that version already use metal (or something

[PyMOL] Collada export with instances?

2018-06-06 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
The collada file exported by pymol would be smaller and export/import faster, I think, if it used geometry_instance for spheres rather than giving each sphere its own geometry/mesh/accessors/etc.. Has that been discussed before? -- Gary Oberbrunner

[PyMOL] Problem with autodock_plugin.py

2018-06-06 Thread Stephen P. Molnar
I'm running PyMOL v-2.2.0a0 on my Debian Stretch Platform and installed the current autodock plugin. Execution of the plugin on a test system 1ACL.pdb (I have run this system with MGL_Tools as the gui) did produce correct results. However the execution of the plugin differed from what I
