to make all spheres smaller, try something like this: set sphere_scale, 0.3
play around with the 0.3 bit to get the size you want. last time i checked, you could only have one sphere_scale per object, so if you want different sized spheres in the same picture (i don't think you do), you may need to do something like this: # show normal spheres for ARGs show spheres, resn arg # show small spheres for ILEs create iles, resn ile show spheres, iles set sphere_scale, 0.3, iles (i'm on a windows box with an old version of PyMOL right now, so i don't know if that last bit has changed recently) -michael -- This isn't a democracy;| _ |Michael Lerner it's a cheer-ocracy. | ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | Michigan -Torrence, Bring It On| - against HTML email X | Biophysics | / \ | mler...@umich On Tue, 20 Jan 2004 rbax...@uchicago.edu wrote: > Dear All, > > I have some residues shown as sticks and a heteroatom shown as a sphere. > I woul dlike to make the sphere a little smaller compared to the sticks. > How can I control the radius of the sphere? > > Any help appreciated, snippet of script below, > > Richard Baxter > > select pocket3=((s;RCVL and i;189,190,212,213,222,223,224)) > select fe2=(r;FE2) > ... > show sticks,pocket3 > show spheres,fe2 > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 > Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration > See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
