Rongjin,

this works for me. You have to specify either buffer or carve with "named
variables" (hope that is the right term). inh1 is the selection I defined
the map to be centered on. 

# load maps
load 2fofc.ccp4, 2fofc_map
load fofc.ccp4, fofc_map

isomesh 2fofc, 2fofc_map, 1.4, inh1, carve=2
color marine, 2fofc 
isomesh fofc1, fofc_map, 3.0, inh1, buffer=2
color forest, fofc1
isomesh fofc2, fofc_map, -3.0, inh1, buffer=2
color firebrick, fofc2


Hope it helps

        Carsten

Subject: [PyMOL] how to control the density coverage in pymol


Hi, all, 
I am new to this BB. 
In O we can use something like "map_cover object radius" to only 
display the density aroung the part model we are interested, and get 
rid of other densities neaby to make the figure "clean". 
But in PyMOL, I tried "insomesh den, map1, 1.0, (i;8,9), 3.0" to try 
to only display the density around residues 8 and 9, but there are 
still some additional densities neaby, which makes the figure a little 
"dirty". Anybody has some ideas to deal with it? 
Thanks
