Hi,

I would like to create an image of a protein shown in van der Waals spheres with a clipped surface.  I'd like each individual sphere/atom to be capped and colored the same color as the atom.  Is this possible?

I can show the protein in spheres and clip it using the side view dialog, but the clipped spheres show up as shells instead of solid balls.  I also have found directions for capping and coloring surfaces, but I don't see a way to make the clipped surface colored by atom.  It seems that building my protein out of sphere shapes and clipping that would give me the desired effect, but I was hoping there was something easier and built-in that I'm missing.

Thanks for your help,
Michelle
