Cheom-gil, (1) sorry, I don't think there's anyway to override the default color. However, you could use a Python loop to automatically change the colors of objects with certain names...for example
# save as colordist.py, then run from File menu for a in cmd.get_names("objects"): if a[0:5]=='wdist': cmd.color("blue",a) # end example (2) to get the coordinates of the picked (pk1) atom... # first pick an atom with Ctrl-middle-click, then issue iterate_state 1,pk1,print (x,y,z) Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delanoscientific.com Warren L.

I change this color everytime after I made distance object to make it easy to see. It is kind of tidious job. Can I change the default color of distance object? I have another question. Can I know xyz coordinate of certain atom in pymol without opening pdb file with editing program? Many thanks in advance..
