Hello, I could not find a way to search the archived sourceforge messages, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I am having trouble moving the light source before a ray command (I want to shine it into the crevice of a structure from behind and above my current view). I ende

Hello, I am trying to change the stick_radius for a few selected residues so they stand out relative to the surrounding mess of sticks. If I command, "set stick_radius, 0.75, ", the report states that the stick radius was changes for the correct number of atoms in the file, but the display
