Mads, The only way to accomplish this that I can think of would be to perform the normal expansion of all symmetry-related molecules within a cutoff and then use a Python script to delete those objects which don't fit a criteria.
One such criteria might be the presence of a tell-tale atom or group in the same plane as the original (trivial if your cell axes are orthogol). PyMOL functions you'll need: cmd.get_names('objects') cmd.get_model(object-name) cmd.delete(object-name) Cheers, Warren > -----Original Message----- > From: pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:pymol-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of > Mads Gabrielsen > Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 5:37 AM > To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [PyMOL] Symmetry > > I am trying to create an image of the packing of my structure. > The ASU is a monomer and the symmetry creates the larger > quternary complex.
