Subject: Re: [chimerax-users] Colouring clipping plane

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

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

-If I color everything white and then click on Molecular-Display “hydrophobic” or “rainbow” it works, the clipping plane remains white.

Can you help me getting the white clipping plane with electrostatic surface ?

Thanks a bunch

Cedric
