Hi Carlos and Jared, thanks for your answers! Jared, your method is quick to do, but the ribbon follows every turn of a helix, which I wanted do avoid. Carlos, your method did what I wanted. I commented out amino acids which c-alphas I did not want to be included, and ran the script zero_residues.

James, PyMOL can use multiple CPU cores to create ray-traced images. PyMOL does not ray trace on the GPU. If you enable use_shaders then you're getting graphics that are as good as ray tracing but without shadows or antialiasing. So, if that's okay for you, then calculate your viewport size, disab

Hi Simon - Glad you figured out a method that worked for you. However, I'm wondering why you ended up with "un-smoothed" helices using the `cartoon_smooth_loops` method. Are you sure you typed the last two commands in my example correctly (`alter` and `rebuild`)? I'm getting a single, relati
