Dear PyMOL users:
I am a new user and I need to make a mask around a pdb model, I tried
mesh and surface options.
Problem is that I would like a surface without high definition, without
smaller details, I mean, I want to make a very low resolution mask (in
NCSMASK - ccp4, this can be done by increasing parameters "radius"
and/or "smooth").
I found some PyMOL "state variables" which could help me, like
surface_proximity, etc.
I didn't find the default values for those variables nor their
function!
Please, you help is very welcomed.
In short:
1) how to make a rough, not detailed mask around my pdb? Is "surface"
option the right way?
2) what parameters do have influence in making a "rough" surface, what
are their functions and default values?
Thanks in advance,
