[PyMOL] Ca-only and surfaces

[Bronwyn C. <bro...@st...>]

Hi, A couple of things:

a) I've just installed the latest MacPymol (after having a major  
crash and having to re-install EVERYTHING), and my middle mouse  
button doesn't seem to work. I can't move things around on the  
screen.  The other buttons work fine, and the middle one scrolls OK,  
so I can slab - but I want to move things!!  I have played with the  
MouseWorks thing in System Prefs, and can change the middle button  
clicking to do what any of the other button clicks do, but there is  
no option for "middle button".  Is there a key combination I can put  
in that will let it move things?

b)I'm trying to make a surface and a cartoon of a CA-only structure.   
A search of my email archive tells me that by now Pymol should be  
able to create at least a ribbon from this sort of file, but I can't  
figure out how to do it.  Can someone please instruct me?

Ta
