[PyMOL] cylindrical helices

[nih\\mayerm <ma...@ma...>]

I've run into a problem not encountered before: drawing a cartoon with cylindrical helices does not accurately follow secondary structure (a couple of helices are badly misplace and another 2 helices fused into 1) even though pdb has secondary structure defined by dssp in header.

A cartoon with the same coords, but drawn as round or fancy helices is accurate.

Are their settings I can use to control how the cylindrical helices are drawn? My backup plan at this point is to go back to molscript/raster3d, if I can remember how !!!

Thanks
