Hi Yoseph,
So you have a volume and you have markers shown in ChimeraX and you wanted to show only the connected surface piece from the volume contour surface that is closest to a specific marker? Do I have that right? You show in your image a lot of markers, but you only want to find the surface piece close to one of them? And you just want to show it and hide all the other parts of the surface? What if the closest surface piece is far away? Or what if a tiny spec of surface is close, but a bigger surface piece is nearby?
I think that would require writing some Python code. There is nothing in ChimeraX that I can think of that computes connected surface pieces that are close to a marker.
Did you consider just showing a zone of the surface around the marker out to a certain specified distance? The ChimeraX surface zone command does that, described here

Hi Tom,
Sorry I was having a difficult time uploading an example image to the form. I'll attach it below, I'm displaying tracked centroids as small spheres. I was hoping that there existed a way to display the nearest yellow blob to the tracks I care about. The yellow blobs signal wise are full binary objects. Thank you for helping me with this.
Best,
Yoseph
