Hi JD, You can use the menu: Actions... Surface... transparency...[%value] or the "surftransparency" command, where the intersurf surface can be specified by model number (#N) or by selecting it with Ctrl-click and using the word "sel": <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/surftransparency.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/atom_spec.html#othermo...> Also, in Chimera version 1.7 (fairly recent daily build), there is a "transparency" command that can be used on not just surfaces but other items (atoms, ribbons, etc.): <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/transparency.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
