Hi Maria and Adam, I think it's not that complicated. You need "cartoon_ring_mode" for the residue selection. Example: fetch 1rna, async=0 as cartoon select firstres, chain A & resi 1 set cartoon_ring_finder, 2 set cartoon_ring_mode, 2, firstres color blue color red, firstres extend 1 Hope

I believe that you can only apply the cartoon setting to an entire obj (object). And so you are correct in trying to duplicate the nucleotide so you can apply one setting to it, while allowing the other setting to display the rest of them. But that doesn’t work either since the program will

Dear pymol-users, I'm still learning how to use pymol to do basic things. At present, I'm working with a nucleic acid molecule that is colored by sequence domains (each domain is a different objet). All the domains are displayed in the cartoon mode, with backbone as dumbbell and
