Please see previous post on chimerax-users for a workaround <https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/archives/list/chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu/...> However, this suggests there was a fix after that <https://mail.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/archives/list/chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu/...> ...so maybe you just need a newer ChimeraX?

Hi Elaine, I met the same problem. "surface dust" works well in the command line, but not execute in the .cxc file ( I tested in ChimeraX). I found that once I include a line "view" before, then "surface dust" will execute. I guess the problem is when we use .cxc file, the volume haven't be shown yet, so surface dust won't work. However, the "view" will change the view setting when I need to make a series of pictures. This is quite annoying. Hope this can be fixed in the future.
Best, J
