Hi Daniel, The clip planes are only updated when the graphics is rendered. Unfortunately saving an image doesn't do it. Normally during a script it doesn't draw any graphics unless you explicitly tell it to using the wait command. So you should try hide target m show #1 target ms wait 1 save fig1.png The wait command just means draw the graphics panel of ChimeraX and the arguments says how many frames to draw (often > 1 when recording a movie). I'll see if I can fix ChimeraX so if you save an image in a script it first draws a frame so this trick "wait" won't be needed. Tom

Hi Tom/Elaine, I have a series of models with SES surfaces and per-model clipping, and I am trying to create figures for each in a script with several blocks like the following: hide target m show #1 target ms save fig1.png
If I run the commands myself, the figures are as expected, but when I run the script / copy and paste several of these blocks, the surface caps aren't drawn. Am I missing something? Or can I trigger the caps somehow?
Thanks!
