i want to show just the CA atoms of a selection of residues (starting with the rest of the model shown as a cartoon). To do this I am trying to use a command like this:
show #3/A:436,464,465,495,498,500,550,697,755,764,795,798,799@CA target a
But this doesn't do anything. If I take off the @CA bit I can show all the atoms in the residue.
Full .cxc is as follows:
