i've written a quick-n-dirty python module to have pymol deal w/
multiple conformers of the same protein (NMR bundles, MD ensembles, etc)
by calculating the average structure and two types of residue-specific
RMSDs -- (i) RMSDs w/ respect to the average structure and (ii) a
pairwise RMSD that's averaged over all unique pairs (it's my
understanding that the first measure (which is <= the second measure for
a given residue) is more frequently used in the NMR world?). You can
find the "average3d.py" module (and samples of its usage) on my pymol
page by scrolling down to the "Averaging Structures!" row of the table
in the "PyMOL Examples" section (http://mccammon.ucsd.edu/~cmura/PyMOL ;
i should put it on pymolwiki soon).

This type of pre-processing of B-factors shouldn't be necessary -- you
should be able to get the desired effect by tweaking putty cartoon
settings (particularly 'cartoon_putty_scale_power'). you can see the
relevant settings (and their default vals) via Zaq Panepucci's nifty
grepset:
> PyMOL>import grepset
> PyMOL>grepset putty
> cartoon_putty_quality 11.00000
> cartoon_putty_radius 0.40000
> cartoon_putty_range 2.00000
> cartoon_putty_scale_max 4.00000
> cartoon_putty_scale_min 0.60000
> cartoon_putty_scale_power 1.50000
good luck,
cameron
