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 On 23 Jun 2014, at 14:13, Christian Roth <christian.r...@bbz.uni-leipzig.de> wrote: > Hi there, > > I used the side chain helper option to create a binding site in the > protein.
