Re: [PyMOL] cartoon range transparency help

[Christian B. <chr...@fu...>]

Hi Paul,

check out
https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Cartoon#Breaking_Up_a_Visualization_with_Cartoon_Skip

You'll want to skip the residues you want to make transparent in the
original (opaque) object, and include some more residues on both ends in
the copy you want to make transparent. Skip the additional residues and
make the copy transparent.

HTH,

Christian
