RE: [PyMOL] transparent sticks

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Xavier,

A potentially confusing aspect of settings is that they only go down to
the object (and in some cases object-state) level.  Individual atoms
don't have their own settings. =20

So what you've doing is changing the stick_transparency for all objects
that include atoms in the "met" selection.

The workaround is to using the "create" command to create separate
objects.

Cheers,
Warren
