Hi André,

  Making a thick colored outline around an epitope on a protein surface is easier in ChimeraX using thick selection outlines.  The link you mentioned from 2014 is from our old program Chimera which could only draw thin 1 pixel wide outlines.  Here is an example in ChimeraX where I make a thick (10 pixel wide) red outline around some residues.

open 2x7r
hide ~/C atoms
        surface /C
select /C:670-681
graphics selection color red width 10

Hello Chimerax, 

I was wondering if there has been any progress on making outlines of specific epitopes in ChimeraX since this thread back in 2014? Thank you in advance.
