Hi Damien, Chimera cannot cap clipped VRML surfaces. It also can't change the coloring or transparency of VRML surfaces. VRML surfaces are different from all other surfaces in Chimera. Why not just save the Chimera session with the multiscale model surface? Then you can reopen it and clip and cap as you wish.

Dear all,
It is possible in Chimera to cap the clipped surface of an isosurface made with the Multiscale Model tool.
However, if the isosurface is exported in VRML and then reopened in Chimera, it is no more possible to cap the clipped surface. This function (surface capping) is very interesting in particular when the scene is crowded by many proteins. Is it a way to cap VRML model?
Many thanks for your help!
Damien
