Hi Christian,

cartoon_side_chain_helper was implemented as an atom-level-setting in the 
latest Incentive PyMOL version. In older versions and in the current 
open-source, the setting is object-level. However, if you create a separate 
object like you said, it should work with these versions too. Just make sure 
you hide cartoon or unset the cartoon_side_chain_helper setting for that new 
object. Example:

PyMOL> fetch 1ubq, async=0
PyMOL> as cartoon
PyMOL> show sticks
PyMOL> set cartoon_side_chain_helper
PyMOL> create mygly, resi 35
PyMOL> as sticks, mygly
PyMOL> orient mygly

Cheers,
  Thomas
