Hi, I don't think there is a special script for this. Your particles will probably be represented by simple spheres or cubes, right? Did you read Timo's question about polyhedra and Carsten's answer about CGOs?
http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg11645.html For spheres, the easiest is to use pseudoatoms instead of CGOs: PyMOL> pseudoatom particle1, vdw=5.0, pos=[1.2, 3.4, 5.6] PyMOL> as sphere, particle1 PyMOL> zoom buffer=10 You can move around that atom in edit mode with Ctrl+Drag. Hope that helps.
