Hi Nicolas, Cool idea. First the "witihin" operator works on more than just single atoms. So, how about something like this: # fetch a protein fetch 1oky, async=0 # let's target _all_ atoms within 8 Angs of _all_ of # residue 55, not just one atom select target, all within 8 of i. 55 color red

Dear Nicolas, As for the semi-transparent sphere, there are a number of ways to do that. One option: You could create a new object named new_obj with an atom at the center point and use "alter new_obj, vdw=radius" to make the sphere. Then use "set sphere_transparency, 0.5, new_obj" Alternatively

Hello, I would like to do the following: I have a large protein loaded in pymol. I would like to select all atoms within a radius around a point. I know about "select within", however, this command requires the second selection to be an atom. I would prefer if the center of the sphere is not neces
