I would like to make one isosurface transparent, and leave another solid (or set different levels of transparency for each). I know object-specific transparency works for molecule objects, e.g.
load molA.pdb, A load molB.pdb, B show surface, A show surface, B set transparency, 0.5, A (object B remains solidly-rendered) But if I try the same for isosurfaces, e.g. load mapA.ccp4, mapA load mapB.ccp4, mapB isosurface surfA, A, 1 isosurface surfB, B, 1 set transparency, 0.5, surfA ...the transparency of BOTH isosurfaces changes, as reflected by the messages in the console: PyMOL>set transparency, 0.5, surfA Setting: transparency set to 0.50000 in object 'mapA'. Setting: transparency set to 0.50000 in object 'mapB'. Setting: transparency set to 0.50000 in object 'surfA'. Setting: transparency set to 0.50000 in object 'surfB'. Is there a way to make isosurface objects behave in the same way as the molecule objects?
