Hi Elaine,
Thanks for such a quick and detailed response. I am looking to get the Hydrophobicity-Surface model so the it will look smoother...the edges not so rough. I am not very technical, hopefully I am making some sense. I have attached a file.
Thanks again, Leo
Hi Leo, In that case, I think you want to change the "vertex density" surface parameter mentioned in the previous message. That uses a greater number of points and thus triangles in the surface, leading to a smoother appearance. However, be aware that doing this may decrease the interactivity (slow down responses to movements with the mouse) depending on your computer, so you may need to experiment a little to find a happy medium. Actually the picture you sent is of a rather small molecule, so I don't think there will be any slowdown. If you were showing a huge protein or several proteins it would be more likely. Best, Elaine
