Hi Ashley,

You can get a single color clipped cap by doing the electrostatic surface coloring with a command

scolor #0 volume #1 cmap -10,red:0,white:10,blue autoUpdate false

where #0 is the molecular surface and #1 is the electrostatic map (*.dx file). The key here is the "autoUpdate false" option. That means the coloring on the clip surface won't be updated as the clip plane is moved. The above command will still color the current clip surface and you'll have to move the clip plane to make it a single color. The Surface Color dialog does not offer control over the "autoUpdate" option so it can only be done with a command.

Hi – Can’t find answer to this question in manual. Is it possible to assign a uniform solid colour to a surface cap when the (clipped) surface is coloured by electrostatic potential (using external .dx file)? I know such capping can be done when the surface is coloured by some other attribute but have not found a way to specify in the above case.

Any hints gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Ashley
