Re: [PyMOL] Hiding individual dash/distance objects within a merged-dash object

[Michael L. <mgl...@gm...>]

Hi Harry,

If they've been combined using the group command, you can ungroup them:

fetch 1rx1
# make some distance objects
dist measure01, 19/C, 20/C
dist measure02, 20/C, 21/C
dist measure03, 158/C, 159/C
dist measure04, 157/C, 159/C
# group them
group g1, measure01 or measure02
group g2, measure03 or measure04
#ungroup all of them (this leaves empty groups, which you can delete if
you'd like)
ungroup measure*

Hope that helps,

-Michael
