Hi Joel,

The preset commands make changes that are sometimes undoable. In this
case, PyMOL sets "cartoon_side_chain_helper" on a selection and then
deletes the selection. To do what you want, you need to perform the
actions in the command without the cartoon_side_chain_helper setting:

# fetch an example protein

fetch 1hpv, async=0

# detect ligand sites

preset.ligand_sites("1hpv")

# show the dashes in the polar contacts

show dashes, 1hpv_pol_conts

# show the cartoon

show cartoon, rep ribbon

# hide surface and ribbon
hide surface
hide ribbon


Should we add some more options for preset visualizations?

Cheers,

-- Jason
