Hi Gabe, There's no nice way to turn on surface caps from the command-line. I have a keyboard shortcut "clip and cap" (cc) that turns on per-model clipping on the first surface model and enables capping. It can be run using the command-line instead of using a shortcut with command "ac cc". You might think some trick, like not having any surface opened and using "ac cc" could turn on capping but no luck -- it does nothing if no surface is opened. You could do something unpretty like use "ac cc" with a surface showing and then use the mclip command to turn off the undesired per-model clipping on that surface. Another route is to use "open capson.py" where the capson.py file is a bit of python code attached to this email and capson.py is placed in the same directory as the command script you are using it from. I'll add a specific request for a surface capping command to our feature request list. All the Chimera capabilities should have command equivalents but we have been lazy and not done that (yet).
