Hi Adam, I think you also want to make sure that each strand as a distinct chain ID if you want the cartoon representation to work correctly.
Unfortunately that means you have to use "alter" but to change the chain IDs on the objects created by the split_states command before merging them all into one object. It worked for me when I tried that with 3ow9. Cheers, Rob On Thu, 2015-07-23 09:23 EDT, "H.
