I've been trying to set the sphere_transparency for selections on my protein, and I've tried the following:
PyMOL> load test.pdb PyMOL> show spheres, HETATM I've tried the following to change sphere_transparencies: PyMOL> set sphere_transparency,0.4,name COO PyMOL > cmd.set("sphere_transparency", 0.4, selection="name COO") neither of these work, as the sphere_transparency gets applied to ALL spheres I know my selection is fine, because I can change the color of this individual atom by typing: PyMOL: color red, name COO Is it possible to change the sphere_transparency setting for individual atoms?
