Try set ribbon_trace,1.

[PyMOL] ribbon view of c-alpha only coordinates

[Cathy Lawson]

Dear Fellow Pymolers,

Some PDB files (notably models fitted into EM density) contain only C-alpha 
coordinates.
When read into Pymol, Ive found that the coordinates appear as a 
constellation of individual atoms, and selecting a ribbon view doesn't 
connect them with lines.


Anyone know a workaround to view C-alpha atom coordinates in Pymol as 
C-alpha traces?


thanks,

Cathy Lawson
