Hi Dan and Thomas, ### Had to send message again due to size restriction, now image can be found a link ### Perhaps this will do the trick, Show the protein as surface and cartoon then set the surface to almost invisible: set transparency, 0.99 Then set the surface transparency to be angle de

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 pn
