[PyMOL] help with surface parameters

[Scott C. <cl...@uc...>]

Hello fellow PyMOLers,
	Is the surface in PyMOL a solvent accessible surface or a molecular 
surface? It looks like a solvent accessible surface to me. Is there any 
way to change the radius of the water probe that is used to create the 
surface? I noticed that there are a few surface settings, but I can't 
figure out what effects they are having on the displayed surface. Can 
anybody shed light on these commands? What are their default settings? 
What are the high and low values they can take?

surface_best
surface_ normal
surface_ proximity
surface_ quality

  I would like to create a fairly tight molecular surface and I just 
can't figure it out. ANy help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
