Re: [PyMOL] question about ray after alter and rebuild

Hi Pete,

Check on the sections "clipped_by" and "bounded_by" in the povray
documentation. You can clip with a defined plane, and can actually do so
using different planes for different objects. Alternatively you can use
other objects to clip. Another possibility is to use CSG difference or
intersection. Especially the latter will be painfully slow with surfaces an=
d
such, unfortunately. Come to think of it, it may be possible to directly
include this in the conversion to povray. Maybe if I have a moment, I'll ad=
d
it to the scripts I have and post the link... :)

Cheers,

Tsjerk
