Hi Cedric! In the Models panel, use the disclosure triangles and expand until you can see the surface cap model (see attached image) -- there will be a square color well for that model, in the column between the ID and the "eye" (show/hide). Click that color well and it should bring up your system color-editor. Then when you choose the color in that dialog it will replace the electrostatic coloring on the cap. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi ChimeraX team.
I’m trying to get an image of a protein whose surface is colored by electrostatic properties but clipped halfway. I would like the clipping plane to be white, not red/blue according to the electrostativ properties of the residues insides the protein. However, I don’t’ seem to be able to do that.
-If I color everything white and then click on Molecular-Display “electrostatic”, the clipping plane also gets the electrostatic coloring <image001.png>
-If I color everything white and then click on Molecular-Display “hydrophobic” or “rainbow” it works, the clipping plane remains white. <image002.png>
Can you help me getting the white clipping plane with electrostatic surface ?
Thanks a bunch
Cedric
